E-150 AC retrofit
Hello all - New guy here! I just came into a 1987 E-150, V8, 5.0. with factory air. I want to retrofit the system for R-134a (beleive it or not it hasn't already been done). I have converted several other smaller vehicles, so I know a little about the issue. But I have a couple of questions about the van.
First: aside from the fittings and the Accumulator/Dryer, is there anything else I need to change out for this van?
Second: Where is the A/D located on this vehicle?
Third: Approximately how much coolant (R-134) will it need to charge up, I have a pressure guage, but I'd like to know how much to buy before starting?
Forth: the van has a rear auxiliary unit under the back bench, does it get charged separately?
Last: Do I go half and half coolant/oil or some other ratio of R-134 to oil?
Thanks in advance and I'm SURE I'll be back often!
