Here is the latest on my Freeze-12 conversion.  Dropped by the shop this
afternoon.  Found that they had only added three cans., so they added a
fourth while I waited.  It certainly quieted down the compressor, if nothing
else.  Lowest temperature I could get at the front A/C vents was 48F with
the air in the van somewhere between 80 and 85F.  This is somewhat better
than before.  Cold line from compressor was cold enough that ice was forming
on the pipe even with the heat of the engine compartment.
