Two Problems w/80 and 76

First on my 80 f-150 I can not locate the drain tube on a/c. Condensation builds up and the unit quits cooling and the fan also slows down. I have looked but have now found the drain. When it is shut off for 15 minutes or so and the condensation leaks out the unit will cool again. Any ideas?

Second on my 76 f-150 I am in need of a control cable for the temp control unit, bought one but only fits units w/o a/c. Also how many ounces of freon will the factory unit hold? I put in three 12oz cans of 134a and an oil charge, but unit does not cool below 75 degrees.

Thanks...........

I think your 1980 needs refrigerant. It is freezing up.

Someone here should be able to help you with your '76.

Good luck!
