So it's time to tackle the AC system in my 86 Monte Carlo LS. The other day the selector switch got stuck when I moved it to defrost. I hear that that's a vacuum line situation that I'll have to fix and so I went down the rabbit hole of thinking about whether or not to keep the AC in the car altogether. I live in the NE and summer's get hot, so it would be nice, but definitely a luxury for me. I have no clue when the last time the AC ran was. As far as I know, everything is in working order and it just needs a charge, BUT (and this is a huge but) I don't know if anything else will need fixing/replacing until I start working on it. I'm honestly dreading working on the vacuum lines...
SO now I face the debate of pulling out the AC and just keeping the heat so I can bypass all of the AC headaches that are possible. I saw the AC only delete heater box at Mike's Montes which looks like a nice option. Has anyone used this? Was it pretty straight forward? Should I just try to get the AC running with Red Tek Pro Seal or something? Is fixing the heater selector vacuum situation easy? Ugh...
