A/C

posted by  someone claiming to be first 740 on  Sun Jun 5 20:01 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I bought this car in the winter, work on the ignition/fuel so that it starts reliably, checked out the mechanicals. repaired/replaced the broken/missing trim, etc. I don't drive it much, It's an automatic...
It's hot now and I need A/C. There is no belt on the compressor.
I'm in need of expert advice on checking it out and getting it working.
From the info I have. here's my plan.
1. Buy a can of R134 with gauge on hose. (is retrofitted 134 per label on firewall) to see if there is any pressure in system.
2. If there is some pressure, I'll install new belt and start engine
2b. If no pressure in system then what?
4. Turn on A/C and see if it compressor runs, makes noise, throws belt off, gets cold? how long should this take.
5 Top off the charge if needed. Is suction side pressure in the ball park?
