My two cents:I've 134'd my 4 Saabs: 83-87.I'm happy with results. I had a couple issues. I blew out the short rubber hose that connects the dryer and condenser (the front radiator) The mid 80's and newer used a solid pipe in that location and I would replace that if I have to service my 83 again. The one tool I didn't have was a vacuum pump for evacuating. I ended up getting a spare cruise pump with the three lead wiring connector to jump to the battery. To connect to the system fittings I bought the 134 fill kit and cut off the end that screws into the 134 can. The cut hose was a perfect press on fit to the cruise pump vacuum nipple. I let the pump run about an hour before charging and the 134 went into the system quickly. I put my vacuum guage on before charging the system and it registered about 30 inches.I also had a Saab shop mechanic say the hoses on the older Sanden 8V systems are better than the double hoses on the Seikei (sp.?) systems. He said the double hoses are dead at about 150K.ust ran
