I believe so, Its a tool with 3 hoses that one hooks up to the a/c line one to the freeon bottle and one to the air compressor and have a couple of gauges on it. I've never really botherd to look but I know my dad has recharged a few a/c units with it so I figured that was the right tool. I've never messed with a/c systems before.

I'll try it out tomarrow and if it dosnt work maybe you can take a look and do work on sunday if you have time.

thats probably just the manifold guages, you can recharge with that, but best way is to vacuum it and recharge.
i dropped the acura 15 degrees just by doing a half hour vacuum and recharging.

I think I stripped out the threads for the lower ac line on the compressor. Thats what I get for not paying attention to what Im doing. Gonna try and see if I was using too short of a bolt tomorrow.

If not, gonna try and have my other compressor rebuilt. Then install everything and have ac

I need to get some rear speakers, but don't wanna spend money on what I don't "need".. Hopefully Ill find someone with a set to trade..

I have some other random things to take care of but thats all I can think of right now.

Hopefully I get my Progress bar in next week so I can turn down the shocks as well.

If you guys need the lug nuts for the trip, I still have my stock ones you can have. They have been sitting here for quite a while, so might as well put them to use.
