Thanks Forced! Is the one right in view at the front of the engine ok?

Another question in all seriousness - why don't people discharge R134a systems at home? I thought R134a was ozone safe and is in commericial products like cans of computer duster air etc. R12 i know is a totally different story.

If people dump antifreeze into sewers, Im surprised DIY'ers don't think twice about discharging their systems at home when they have to. Especially since one of the main reasons to discharge a good AC system would be a blown engine.

Is there a reason? Is it really dangerous or difficult to do?

Only reason I ask is because my car is all apart and Id have to do some re-assembly to limp it to my indy.

Thanks again,
dd
