Well majority of everyones A/C is fixed and mine just went out on me today.     I'm not going to complain.  I should of taken care of it long time ago.   I hear the shop calling....   

Windows do just fine for me.

Tell Ya how I fixed mine. I ganked to whole enchalada right out. Cuttin into my horsepower. Beside that my evaportor started leaking and the compressor was missing when I bought the car. If I ever sell her I'll probably hook it back up. T-top off, back window  out is more fun. You can hear the rumble of fine exhaust better than a stereo.

My lady and I have decided to not remove any of the components.   She wants to leave as is.  Making the vette original as possible.   I'll fix the darn thing when I return from having a blast in PF with the others.   Time spent with C3VR:  PRICELESS

Hi again guy's. Well I found my chart on some of the flamable drop in refridgerants. Frigc (FR-12) is 2% butane, Autofrost/Chillit & R-406AGHG/Mcool are 4% isobutane Hotshot/ Karcool is 1.5% isobutane. Like Adam says 134A & R12 are not flamable & the only way you should go. Any other blends & your taking a chance on a SERIOUS meltdown. I saw a video where they put Butane based ref. in a car & put a small hole in the evaporator. They  set off a spark inside the car. It blew the drivers door off and all the windows blew out. Not a good choice of ref. Terry
