AC fix-here it is Infek
Now, to get to the expansion valve and evap core (the one that looks like a mini fmic) we took off the glove box and removed the intake lookin thing which only had 4 bolts and some difficult manuevering to get out. To ease your mind, the order goes (from inside the engine bay to evap core) i layed it out for you in one of the pics. As you can see my old evap core looked like a birds nest. But it is not necessary to remove the dash entirely. And replaced the O-rings which weren't shot, i still did cause i payed for the parts. Condenser and dryer was a little more easy. Took my grill and radiator off and took the old assembly out and put it together in reverse order. This only took us 3 hours. And i used 18 ounces of 134a from checkers (the one that comes with the little gauge) and we were all good. Enjoy!!!

very nice.
The expansion valve was easier to replace than expected then?
What is the bill of parts used?

Let me check our first A/C thread...but i used 2 O rings for the C&D 2 for the valve and 2 for the evap core. Those rings costed 20.00 bucks and some change. Besides 2 gallons of radiator fluid and an 18 ounce bottle of 134a, that was it...no AC since October and now i get freezing. Call returned. You're it.
