Re: [Amc-list] Hornet evap

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hey, That sounds good!
I have the whole mess, controls and all, maybe even the condensor, but will likely go with new condensor, dryer hoses and compressor.  
   I'll do a thorough clean and pressure test on the evap as there is not sense in installing junk!
For years I said, "No A/C" 
   Now it seems, that we continually go straight from winter to summer, then spring and back and forth.
It will be much more enjoyable with A/C for those 95 degree days.
