=)~ Is what I have to really say! Its nice to finally have a saab with a fully functional a/c system. So a quick rundown of what I did.
1. Disconnected the a/c hoses from the compressor. 2.Disconnected the hose from the condenser to the the reciever drier at the reciever drier. 3.Used a pump tank (cheap lawn sprayer) and shot paint thinner through the condenser till it was clean, let some thinner sit there and flushed again. Proceeded to blow out the remains with an a/c compressor. 4. Removed the remainder of the reciever/drier and expansion valve. 5. Flushed the evaporator as I did the condensor at the point where the expansion valve connects. 6. Installed the new a/c lines 7. Installed the expansion valve 8.Installed the reciever/drier 9. Started the system, charged one can of 134a, then one can of oil charge, and another can of 134a. This is the point which I am at. Most people advise adding close to 30oz of refrigerant. thus far I have have only 24 and it seems to be very cold. Haven't had a super hot day to try it out yet. If the performance does dip I will add one small can of maxi cool and report back with my results. But I must say I am very very happy with the job. Saved myself 100's of dollars to top it off! If you have any questions please email me. Stay Cool....heheheheh
