My AC isn't working. Took it to a garage, the guy says he's going to charge me at least $1000 to retrofit to R134A (my car is currently R12). Screw that. Got on HAN this morning looked at some threads. I'm gonna have them evacuate my R12 for $69.95. I will do the retro fit, (retro fit kit at Autozone for $35) then fill it up with R134A. Anyone see a problem with my plan? I hope it works... it's getting HOT!!

Of course, this is all assuming that the problem is the refrigerant! Will they be able to tell me if there is a leak from sucking out the R12?

This sucks.
