John,

Does your dealer installed AC work very well? My 85 has the AC but it was not running when I bought the Van.

The PO told me the area was too large to really cool very well. Also I have heard about seals leaking, so I was sort of feeling it was more trouble than it was worth. Plus I figured the stock engine didn't need to work any harder.

Is it worth it to keep the dealer installed AC working?
