If you haven't noticed a leak with the black light, 1st thing would be to change the Low psi switch. I doubt the ac coil is at fault. I did have a 1 faulty Low psi switch that lasted only a year, but the shop swapped it without hesitation as they initially changed it when I had my truck repaired.
If you wait, RA has low psi switches cheaper than anyone, minus shipping. O'Reilly's shows $27 without tax.
Still, I would be inclined to verify with gauges if at all possible. Harbor Freight has a set for under $50 I think. Not the top of the line, but far better than guessing or using the line taps from Walmart.

You shouldn’t need a black light to see a leak. I assume you put dye in the system? There is usually dirt stuck to the oil that leaked out along with the refrigerant. Look around all the fittings and the condenser. You need to check system pressures before replacing anything.

I got refrigerant from the parts place and added it. It took the entire 20 oz can and stayed in the green zone the entire time and the clutch was working great. Temp on my thermometer reading is nice and cold. Now I'll just see what happens. Thanks for all the help guys, I sincerely appreciate it and your time. Regards Sandy
