Honda Prelude a/c rebuild

I am in the process of going through the a/c system on a 1992 Honda Prelude (for hire). Man I wish the guy that engineered the system in the Honda had done the W123/126. This has, by far got to be one of the easiest evaporators to remove of ANY car out there. It is a piece of cake compared to the early 80's Mercedes.

I have attached a pic of the dirty evaporator. This is the reason all the car manufacturers went to a "cabin filter".

Looks more like the condenser should. Actually, even that doesnt suck in as much junk.

At least the TXV is easier to get to on a Benz. well, mine anyway, i dunno about the older ones?

It's finished - blowing good cold air using r12.
Everything came out good. The only issue I see now is that I am getting air blowing out in the footwell in every position except defroast. I'll be troubleshooting that tomorrow.

This is by far one of the easier evaporators to remove/install that I have ever seen.
