The system works just well enough that I'm not heavily motivated to change refrigerant, even though I have everything on hand (vacuum pump, gauge set, a case of Duracool, etc.) Of course this laziness may come back to bite me if the R134a eats through components as reported.
I found today, which was quite hot and humid, that driving at 65 mph with recirculate mode set produced a comfortable interior, just not the "freeze your rear end off" effect I get on my C900 with Duracool. (Didn't have a thermometer with me so don't know exact outlet temperature, but it felt OK. Did not have recirculate mode set when I tested before.)
I'm surprised this A/C system is so marginal knowing how expensive these cars were when new.
