As for the Everything else I found a conversion kit at the Walmart I work at, any one use it or one like it before? We also sell the coolant + oil is that the right oil I need? What about coolant after that should I buy the high mileage or just regular 134a? How much coolant will I need for an 85 burb with rear AC?

Anything else I need to buy? I do plan on having a local shop vaccine out the coolant properly.

Thanks for yalls help.

make sure to flush the system before you install any new parts. I bought my flush can and solvent from Napa. just hook it to your compressor and blow the air/solvent mixture through your condenser and evaporator coils.

it is well worth it to insure there is no old oil or contaminants in the system.
