How much was the the "full A/C" service? I have this supercharger whine that is coming from the A/C bearings and missing hoses I think (from the engine swap) as well as needing a re-gas obviously. I'm hoping the day will soon come when I first experience A/C in the deuce lol

A tech told me that A/C's should be run at regular intervals, at least for a short time all thru the year, including winter. Apparently something about lubing the seals.

Yeh if anyone bothers to read the manual you're meant to use it like once a week for 5 mins or once a month at the very least. I would definitely find a reason to use it in winter - defog the bloody windows!

adisco I ripped out my AC straight away when i got the car to save in weight, since it wasnt working. Surprise! It is a depressing thread but its true. My particular car is high maintanance, worse than a girl, a barbie girl, one of those fake one you see with bright blonde hair and fake tan, fake lashes, nails and so on... Anything with an engine or a heartbeat is always going to cost
