Poll: Does your A/C work or not?
Based on the recent A/C questions popping up I thought I'd post a poll to see people's A/C situations...

Does not work. Had it charged when I bought the car last year, worked well for 1.5 months. Leaking somewhere I suppose.

works fine, except for the center vent thing. Going to take out the dash later this spring and replace/fix the pods, if I get the chance.

I voted works well. Out of 3 '87s, one has R-134A, works well, one has a seized compressor (car parted, does it count?), one still R-12, works well but takes about 1/2lb each summer.

Compressor locked up tight as can be on me last autumn.
 Black on black car + Atlanta weather + Atlanta traffic - A/C = miserable driver A/C will be fixed this spring.

Haven't tried mine yet, but I'm hoping for the best.

This might be a good time to remind everyone that most AC systems need to be started about once per month INCLUDING THE WINTER... They are designed to keep the front compressor seal lubricated by splash or pressure when running... so if you go 6 to 8 months without starting it you have greatly increased the chance that you have caused an unnecessary leak...

If the climate system is working properly the compressor should be used fairly often, unless you drive with it on "EC" all the time. The system uses the compressor to dehumidify the air and with the defroster, for the same reason.
