I'll be acquiring a 4Runner setup for R12, albeit missing the A/C compressor, lost after "the jump."
Since there's no charge in the system, what should I do? Should I get an R12 compressor? Would R134A work? Would a R134A compressor work with R12?
I hear R12 systems with R134A don't work that great. It sounds like 50% propane / 50% butane is the best option if I can't get R12.
Are there any DC, inverter type options?
Would be nice if the windows had the pop outs, in lieu of A/C.
Appreciate any insights that can be offered.
Edit: On Ebay, I see very few used compressors. On Rock Auto, I see this Denso unit, which I imagine may be the way to go? Says compatible with R12 or R134A. More Information for DENSO 4711145 - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=2022946
