GMC A/C Conversion kit

[bdub]

Great pics, Manny! I think I'm gonna need to do this mod one o these days.

Please keep copies of all instructions and templates and blueprint any
additional parts. I'd like to get my hands on as much information about
this as possible.

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the project.

Good Luck

I had a problem with and valve on my GMV van a/c recently. I decided to go
for the 134 replacement and have had good success. The pickle (Palm Beach)
could use a charge itself.
May change it over to 134.
With the modification kit will you now have to pump down the a/c system?
