I concur 100%.  Other than the compressor change it got while under warranty, the
Lowrider needed NO a/c work for 10 years.  Then, it was just worn out, though it
would cool to some extent, and there was a $50 difference between fixing the R12
system (cheaper) and installing R134.  I paid about $950, and did not need to remove
the dash.

Now it needs a new pressure switch.....there was a time recently when that was the
most important thing it needed......THAT was a while ago!!
