Thanks

Re: A/C questions

My 71 has the roof mounted AC that starts in the back and goes up to the front. The burbs nick name is "Shake and Bake" that should give you an idea how effective the AC is here in Vegas.
I'm kinda in the same situation as you, I charged the system but after 40 years the AC lines are beginning to leak. Must be 60 feet of lines run from front to back, so I'm trying to decide if it would be better to repair or replace with new Vintage Air.
I would like to keep the existing but need to do some homework on converting from R12 it's getting impossible to find.

Re: A/C questions

Justin,

Thanks for the info , do you have any pics of them installed in the Burbs?


The reason I asked is because I just bought another burb with the full center A/C and was going to add it into mine and wanted some info on the stock set up. So does anybody have a set up that has been updated to 134 and keeps cool or is it waste of time and money ?

Thanks
