How to install A/C in a 1st Gen Pickup/4Runner (1 Viewer)

Yes, pulled from the low and high side r12 ports

Edit: So played around again with it for about 30 minutes. Swapped to a different fitting, seems to be holding pressure at the fitting. Looks like my leak is coming from the 2 manifold ports attached to the compressor so gives me a bit more confidence what to do next.

Add boost to your AC when temperatures get to 100°. Settings on recirculate by level Max AC. It's colder than it's ever been.

Old school cool ... Literally

It's right at 40 bucks in ice 2025. That's enough for about 2 coolers.

AC is now blowing ice cold as of last night. Will be curious on my way home from work today how it does in 95F+ temps.

Ended up being the 4 o-rings on the bottom of the manifold ports on top of the compressor. OD was slightly smaller than the original R12 O-rings, not allowing it to make a complete seal when installed.

Glad you got'r. Make sure your condensate drain hose is dumping all your Alabama humidity out of the truck instead of on the floor. Enjoy that cool.
