      I used "Freeze 12" as an R12 substitute on my Camry before it was legal to sell refrigerant at parts stores (Amazon wouldnt allow shipping to WI, I ended up getting some from out of state)  That was 3 years ago. It still works extremely well. You should have great results with it as long as you do it right. 

      from what i read, its just about not putting too much refrigerant in (allowing the pressure to get too high). should be pretty easy.

        Well, the refrigerant went somewhere.. so there is obviously a leak. Unless you vented the system of course.

          after 20 years, even a miniscule leak would result in this, yes.

                The car came with no belt so I was concerned the compressor was seized. Much to my surprise I threw a belt on her on Tuesday during my lunch and the ac works fine!

                    Yes.  It'd be hard to take summer drives without A/C.

                      AC on my E30 would work if not for a leak in the system somewhere.  Seems like it's in the low side fitting.  Can't do anything with it now as I tried to put REDTEK refrigerant into it and now no AC shop will touch it.  Don't know how to work on AC systems myself.
