Did you replace the compressor because of the change to R134? R134 requires higher pressure, and I am not sure if the original compressor will work with the new refrigerant. How much did the new compressor cost?

All you need are the fittings. The compressor does not need to be replaced unless it's bad.

R134 is not the best (molecule very little), I prefer Freeze12,Maxifrig or Deepcool and R12 of course

sorry to bring up an old thread, but I figured it is better than starting new.

Does anyone happen to have a pic or can anyone tell me where the heck the A/C drain/refill fittings are? I am having a hell of a time finding them. Starting to think a previous owner ripped them out (although compressor is there, along with belt, so it wouldn't make sense).

Thanks.

Thanks.

the fill ports are located in the frunk on the passenger side behind the plastic. on the opposite side should be the drier assuming the system is intact.GL
