Actually, the P.O. converted the system to R-134, as I mentioned in a previous post. So, even if it needs 2 lbs, which I think is its capacity, the cost of the freon isn't an issue.

But are you really saying that there will still be freon in the system even after I replace the compressor, drier, and expansion valve?
