I recently got an estimate from a local shop who specializes in air conditioning in vintage vehicles. Yes, it is expensive, but also comes with a 12 month warranty. HOWEVER, they DID warn me that *IF* there was a leak in the hose, it would double the cost of the job. He showed me what he was talking about and explained that it would require the removal and reinstallation of the rear cabinet. The worst case scenario is not good, but it does give me "hope." At the moment I have an oil and a transmission leak to get repaired, so the AC project is on the back burner for now. (I'm wondering how tough of a job it is to remove and reinstall the cabinet.)
