4cfm, 120 psi, 2 tank air compressor at Advance Auto $88
25 foot 1/2 inch air hose $8.99 at Agri Supply.
Various blowguns $3.99-$15.00 for the longer bent one at Tractor Supply Co.

2 cfm Mastercool SINGLE stage vacuum pump rental at Autozone $199, you get this back when you return, Have your own oil!
A/C service DVD at Autozone $8.99

Acetone and mineral spirits are fine to use, the Acetone evaporates so fast it will not hurt anything (espicially good for evaporator). Cover seat, carpet, console with drop cloths, it will be messy fumes, use old towels and a baby
bottle to collect flush.

New Delphi (GM/Harrison) R4 for Benz at www.ackits.com - $206, get your pump oil here also.

Get the Filgor rec/dryer, OE and has sight glass.

Charge low side with can upright for gas/vapor. My indy was seen turning can all around and I think that he sumped my compressor with liquid. also he did not purge gauge lines and may have introduced air. I got all kinds of weird readings, so read/study and DIY.

Forget R134a and go with R12!!!!! Have had two SDs converted, you will not be cool and happy!
