Yea, that's my '94 wagon

The compressor:
I made some brackets and mounted a Chrysler V-2 A/C compressor with the expansion valve removed. I put a small cartridge filter on the intake side. I put 12 volts via a switch to engage the A/C clutch when I want it pumping air. I chose the Chrysler A/C compressor because it has a crankcase and doesn't require oil in the freon to lube it like the newer compressors do. It really gets it done quickly. I can fill the reservoir tanks in minutes from dead empty.
