Sorry guys...its all good now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey 93Corunner, if the system was just empty but still closed up, I.E. all hoses and fittings connected, you may be able to get away with a simple retro.

Spin the front of the compressor with your hand...not the actual pulley, they from of the compressor clutch. If you can turn it by hand, the compressor is not locked up which more then likely, no metal shavings have gone through.

Replace all the orings, especially the ones under the dash at the expansion valve. These are common leak spots on the Toyotas. To play it safe, put a new receiver/dryer on also since this is the water trap and filter for the system.

At this point, you should have a vacuum drawn on the system by a reputable shop. Could just as easy let them charge it also. System should get 6-8oz of Ester 100 oil and should be charged to 75-85% of the R12 capacity. Might even have them add a shot of dye to the system to help with any potential future leaks. I do this automatically with all A/C services.

Hope this helps!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
