how much trouble to put ac back on?

Dan caught me. I was working on a brand x. Couldnt stand no air in the tx. heat. Glad he filled in the mopar details. My point was I had never worked on a/c, in fact it was the first thing I stripped off most cars. But with a few youtube videos, a hundred dollars worth of tools and 200 bucks for a compressor and dryer I was cool in the tx. heat. Go for it. You will be glad you did.:headbang:

sorry as I am in australia , things are a little different here.
Refrigerant is not available to the general public and you need a CFC users liscence to purchase any refrigerant and also legally to use it.Theres even a huge fine for releasing any refrigerant to the astmosphere.
If you dont evacuate the air from the system prior to a re charge , the unit will never work as well as it should , a decent vac pump in australia is about $700.00. Nitrogen is what we use for leak testing here , not sure if thats an option for you
