Hey Danny, can you post a few pictures of the system especially under the hood to see how the compressor is mounted and if the old evaporator is still in the engine compartment. Unit is about $1500 plus removal and install of the system.

Danny; Check for vacume leak hose off pinched or busted. I found that was what was wrong 90% of the time in that era Cadillac with no mode change.

All my cars that have been converted to 134 will freeze you out, so if its not cooling as good, there must be other issues like others have mentioned.

Danny was nice enough to send picture of the after market A/C system in one of his hearses. As you can see the evaporator was removed from the firewall and a patch panel installed.
Thanks Danny

Not bad, but that switch in the dash needs some work, it would drive me crazy being in there crooked like that.

I cranked up the Lifeliner Monday evening to check the A/C. I purchased a Freon line with a gauge on it and even though I had put in 3 cans of Freon last week it still required another can. If it holds it was cooling nicely.

what presser are you using to determinant it's full?
that set up Danny pictures is one were you remove all your heater and AC unit and replace them with one hanging on the inside. so it ends up being a recirculation system all the time. from the controllers I would say it's the upper tier unit with the electronic controllers. the heater and ac units are separate fictions so it's not a blended system. they would really have something on these if they would just have a fresh are hose to let the unit draw air in from the out side. I was looking at that one I put in the suburban and it was only inches away from the kick panel vent.
