            Do you still have the PN# for that o-ring kit, everytime I ask someone at the counter, they break out a o-ring tray and tell me to pick out what I need or they offer to sell the whole thing.... Have you tried just shooting r134a into a r12 system?

            Line wrenches help out a lot for a/c lines. Now that you've got the gauges and vacuum grab up a scale, buy a keg of r134a and make some of that money back

                Heres the link to the part number from Autozone.
                http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...71_0_9287_2398

                Also if you you mix r12 with r134a they will create something called "The Black Death" and it basically will clog every component of the system after a while which will end up leading to compressor failure, seal leaks, etc. Hope this helps

                  what a coincidence you bump this thread the day i begin removing my engine and A/C to redo it following this DIY. Thank you for saving me searching time lol

                  by the way, why did you remove the condenser from the car?

                      The reason that I removed the condensor was because its easier to move the A/C flush through it when you shake it like an Etch-A-Sketch :P also while its off you kinda have to work that stuff out of it good (flipping it upside down and such) and make sure you get out all that left over ester oil and A/C Flush when you blow it out with the compressed air. Hope this helps.

                              The big rubber ones, I tried searching for those and I even went to the dealer and spoke to three different techs and was told that the compressor itself was discontinued and so were all parts. So i think no one makes a green seal for the front and back of the compressor because I really don't think that the compressor is something people usually take apart, most just usually replace the whole unit. If you find something please let me know and post it up hope this helps .

                              Peace,
