I may be hallucinating but my mechanic told me that the  conversion 
to the new A/C stuff really only required changing the fittings to 
accept the  new fillers...??   That many A/C specialist were getting 
rich that  way...changing fittings and charging for new compressors, 
etc.
I am sure wiser heads than  mine will set the  record straight  if  I 
am wrong...of  course turning  on the A/C in Casper  is a simple 
matter  of opening the cowl vent...:-)
