I was watching the World Cup earlier and was terse but here are my other 
tips since no one else is home.  If you can find a local distributor of 
FJC products then use them in lieu of buying a big kit but those prices 
are pretty good or average.  I have never bought from that store nor do 
I care if you do.  I just went and found the name FJC in my crap.

Google to find other places with other prices:

Auxiliary advice:

1.  Expansion valves are often blamed by ignoramus Gomer Pyles.  Are you 
sure it's bad?

2.  "Replace /all/ the o-rings" to do a successful conversion is often 
not necessary.  The deal is the new oil and refrigerant supposedly 
attack the (regular) rubber so you need (green) Viton or Nupron or 
whatever seals everywhere.  That means digging the dash apart.  Given 
the relatively cheap price of R134a, you can replace the difficult ones 
after they fail without much $$ pain and likely get plenty of use 
before.  But do all of the ones you can.

3.  Dump the kompressor by twisting shaft while tilting.  Most of the 
oil should be in there and it should feel good when you turn it.  Proper 
evac involves vac and solvent but it depends how yours sat.  If it was 
open to the elements, you prolly need the full monty.

4.  I hate A/C, never use it, and never fix it.  Why do I know this?
