Thanks Big Jim, gonna do it this weekend, and keep my fingers crossed that the compressor actually kicks on and I can get some cold air going through this thing. Condensor and radiator look realtively new, maybe a front end accident before I bought it, but the rest looks original 1987, so I guess I'll find out if the evaporator, hoses, or accumulator are any good...the hard way.

Thanks again guys for the advice, I'll let you know how it goes. Mike.
