Thanks for the info. I figured it was time to learn something about DIY A/C, since it's one of the few automotive systems I haven't messed around with. It just wasn't a priority in the past, but now that I'm commuting 3 hours a day, I'd like to be able to close the windows on the highway to cut down on noise related stress.

Is there a good publication that I can read to give me the basics on function and servicing auto A/C?
Thanks,
J.B.
