JR,

The coach sat for 5 years before I purchased. The A/C did not work when I bought it. No PO to ask questions. I assumed the freon evaporated after 5 years or possible leak. Guess I did not get lucky on this one.

I am shocked that NAPA would sell a kit for do it yourselfers to convert R12 to R134 if it will cause that much damage.

Mike,

You still may not be in bad shape, it all comes down to how big the leak was.

As to NAPA, I'm not surprised that anybody will sell anything that can be sold. But, as a friend of mine said (after politely listening through a rant), do not mistake incompetence for malevolence. They (NAPA) has to know that there is an issue as I was told that they will warranty an AC compressor if the purchaser can not document a system flush to remove old lubricant. For some reason I don't completely understand, more modern vehicles are more tolerant of the conversion to 134 (it still doesn't cool worth a S).

Keep us apprised of what you manage. If you get hung up, I will ofter to help, but I am down by Metro Airport and I will not be able to transport my vacuum pump for a while.

Matt
