Check out my post from doing my 100% R134a conversion. Since I got the compressor at a pick-and-pull, total parts was around $250 for the new condenser, dryer, custom lines, evap valve, r134a and HF gauges.

If you don't mind me asking how much did you spend in total for all new parts?Leave a comment:

If your getting power to the compressor- the switch isn't faulty, as power needs to flow through the switches to enable the compressor to turn on down the line.
Have you had the system vac'd down? I'm thinking this because maybe there is some gunk/rust floating around and it might have hit the evap valve and blocked it up and it stopped it doing it's job. Just a thought.
What is your high/low pressure readings?Leave a comment:

AC not getting any colder
After doing the R134A conversion (new condenser, all seals, replaced evaporator, expansion valve, and drier) my AC won't get very cold. There are no leaks and it holds 40psi of refrigerant in 80 degree weather. The condenser fan works and from what I can tell so does the condenser since it still gets a little cold, maybe 60 degrees or something. The only thing I can think of is the switch on the drier was not changed, but I am not sure if that is needed. I followed a few write ups on here and did everything including the PAG oil and all that. The temp does go down a bit when I get the engine to a higher RPM, but not nearly what others have claimed. Any help is appreciated!
P.S. I bought another can of R134A and it won't allow anymore to go into the system.
