[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 15355707, member: 70025"] I just redid the system on my 99 Contour. The little vacuum pump I had did NOT vacuum out any PAG oil and it did get down to almost 30 pounds of vacuum. I replaced everything except the evaporator since it was under the dash. My system works great, but depending on the outside temp determines how cold it gets. On hot days (100 or above) the system cools down to 60 at idle and then down to 50 when driving. When the outside temp is 90 or below it cools to 50 at idle and then gets down to 40 while driving. VERY comfortable at 40 in the cabin on those days LOL. Also, my climate is very dry. Your system may work different since you're in MS and probably have a lot of humidity. Here is a chart I found that tells you how much R134 to put in your system so you do not over charge it. According to this chart our Cobras should take about 34 OZ. of R134 (I have no experience with ES-12). [url]http://www.m-m-s.com/ackits_public/files/r134acapacities.pdf[/url] I have the dual gauge kit. I did not really pay too much attention to the high side as it varies depending on outside temp. However, my low side would go up to about 50 and then the compressor would shut off and then kick back on and it kept doing that in it's normal cycle. [/QUOTE]
