My nice 1992 Explorer has non functional R12 AC. There is a leak somewhere, the system is pretty much empty.
The other Explorer I have, a 1994, is undergoing race mode mods and AC will be removed completely. It is currently functional and charged with R134a.
See what I'm getting at? Use as much of the stuff as possible from the '94 to fix the '92? My thought is to get new lines, seals, and dryer for a '94, use the compressor from the '94. I'd be using the condenser and evaporator from the '92 unless there's a reason to swap that stuff.
Is that the easiest way to accomplish my goal or is simply retrofitting the existing stuff in the '92 easier?
