r134a

Howdy folks, AC blowing hot as summer begins rearing its ugly head. I had a local mechanic vacuum out the refrigerant (r134a) so I could investigate, and I discovered the black death had struck. I will be replacing everything I need to but I have one concern: The mechanic said it will be fine...
