I have a 92 GT that the previous owner converted over to R134, and it just plain sucks. It doesn't blow very cold at all, and with 80-85 degree weather in the summer time it never really cools down inside the car, I'd just assume have my windows down. I have heard from a lot of other people too that when you convert from R12 to R134 that it never will be as cold as it was. So I'm just pulling the whole AC system out.
If you can help it at all, I would stick with R12 if I were you. R12 is hard to find, but tons or R12 is sold on eBay. All the auctions on eBay state that you have to have proof that you are licensed to buy and/or use R12 in order purchase it from them. I have bought R12 off eBay few times before and know a lot of other people who have by just emailing different sellers and asking them if they would sell to me if I give them a written statement that I am having my lisenced mechanic install. And sometimes they say that is fine and will sell to me like that.
I also have a question if anybody can help me out. This spring I will be pulling out my AC, smog pump, fan, and water pump and installing an electric water pump and electric fan. So the only belt driven accessories I will have will be a PA Performance 130amp alternator and stock power steering pump. First, is a 130amp alternator enough to handle the electric fan and water pump? Second, how can I set up my belt and brackets to accomodate with this setup? Would it be feasible to get on those March adjustable alternator brackets where you can adjust the position and tension, and then just get a belt that fits? Or would I need a tensioner pulley? Any help would be great.
