Well the A/C functions, just not very well, so I don't want to waste good refrigerant if it is just low. Is there a 'lifespan' per-say for r134a?
I have a few others I'll upload. I will have more/better ones soon though.

Have you re-fitted your '88 with dual aux fans?

Typo. Single aux fan. I haven't touched the A/C in over 4 years since I bought the car, so as we all know the evaporators leak on these things, it could be leaking a tad every now and again over the years.
When should I stop recharging? 35psi low? What would be 'overcharged'?
