86 5.0L

Im not sure you guys know howcheap things are in Mexico [8D]

R-12 cans are $6
Recharging is free
for 300 bucks I could buy all the parts but I'd rather only replace the necessary stuff [8D]

Things may be cheap in Mexico but I wouldnt want to be caught crosssing the boarder w/ it.

youd be surprised at the laziness of the border patrol around here[8D] and how would they know the system has R12? its not like im gonna have the cans in the back seat, they'll be put in on the mexican side then I just drive back.....

and Im going today to the junkyards to find some hoses, and hopefully get it running by today

i dunno what you are talking abuot man, R12 isn't illegal by any means. you need to be licensed to purchase it, thats it.

^ its illegal to get caught with it and NOT have a license to have it

anyway I scored at the junkyard, found an 87 5.0 T-bird INTACT, not a single thing is missing under the hood, [8D] Im taking the radiator, all the A/C components(its all coming out as one unit), IAC, whatever else I can find [8D]

welp, I scored at the junkyard, a 1987 T-bird with a 5.0 was recently dropped off and I was the first to pick its carcuss The freon was still in the system, antifreeze was still there, basically you could tell it was well taken care of

scored every A/C component under the hood, even the 3-line radiator looked too good to leave :P everything came out to 130 bucks

now heres my tiny setback, the line from the condensor-to-firewall is not compatable, the firewall connection on my mustang is a 'screw-on' type, the line is the weird round connection that slides and locks together. >_<

FrostByte

Sounds like your screwed cause your car is screwed.
