Put on a new receiver/dryer, and had the shop evacuate the system for about 45 minutes on a deep vacuum. Then I had them check to verify that it could hold vacuum for at least 30 minutes after shutting off the vacuum pump. It did, so I had it charged to spec with R12 and had them add in some UV leak detect dye just incase. With the temps today at about 100*F, my vents were blowing out air at 47~50*F once it was fully charged, not too shabby.

Glad to see you got it squared away. How much was the R-12? Do you still have your arm and/or leg?
