At this point I'm not sure if the system is over, under, or correctly charged. I have two cans of R-12 left and am trying to decide what my two year plan is for the A/C.

I thought the temp should have been blowing colder... So without recovery equipment there is no way for me to know if the charge is correct?

The questions about rebuilding the compressor factor into my decision to convert to R-134a.

I'd like to take it in to someone and pay them to evacuate, replace the orifice, replace all the orings and then recharge. The last car I had that I took to someone to have the R-12 topped off came back with a $1200 estimate plus the jerks stole my R-12. The compressor would cycle but wouldn't cool when I took it in, when I left there was vacuum in the system. I don't want to take it somewhere and have to argue with anyone about what is legal with an R-12 system.
