R12-R134 system questions
 

Has anyone swapped a condenser from an r134 system into an r12 system that has had the retrofit done to it? My retrofit works to a point but I noticed the fins on the condenser are mostly closed which would explain the overly high pressure on the high side. I have a line on a condenser from a 95 and from looking at the diagrams I should be able to do it.

Anyone have hands on experience doing this?

the condensor and lines are different between the r12 and r134 systems

you cant mix and match them

if the fittings are the same size they will work fine, just change the seals at the fitings, use a universal seal replacement kit. thier like $5 at most parts stores. if they wont fit you could also have the corect fittings installed for the condenser you want to use. if your using a factory condenser of some sorts i would have the lines modified to fit so the condenser can be replaced more easily. If you use a larger condenser your ac will work better but you will probably have to add a litte more freon. The aluminum ac hard lines can be tig welded by most competent welders with the equipment.

try finding a good r-134a compressor,condensor, the high line, and low line from a 94-95. thats all u need i believe, everything elese will bolt up. then once its all connected, you clean the lines out of remaining r-12. check pressure. fill with r-134a. i did this with my 92 hatch
