Ok, so as far as working and blowing cold and whatnot my air works great. Still has R-12 in it.
But:
This past summer I have had this issue: When I turn the air conditioning on and the car goes back to idle it will sometimes cause the engine to stumble a bit and the revs will go down. Like idle is at 700 rpms and it goes down to like 400 and comes back up. Sometimes it will do it once, and sometimes it will go up and down and up and down.
My theory is that a bearing or something is shot in the compressor and since the engine is at idle the compressor is taking more energy from the motor to spin.
Then my other thought was that maybe the system is low on freon or something. I did not really want to chance taking the A/C out this summer and not have any A/C so now it is getting cooler and riding with the windows down all the time is easier.
I know somebody who knows a lot about refrigeration and has testing manifolds and a big bottle of R-12 along with a vacuum pump. I will talk to him and have him look at it too.
