I also did not use the $$ Flush i used denatured alcohol. I was shocked how much oil was still in the Evap. my system had been open to air for 13+ years

The accumulator contains a sack of desiccant that is used to catch any residual moisture that is left in the system. By flushing it out with solvent you may have defeated its purpose. Standard procedure, is to replace that part if the system is opened. As for flushing the condenser and evaporator that is a good idea.------------------

Hey guys, update on my conversion. All went well, by well I mean a few bloody knuckles and choice words, but I got it done. Thanks for all the advice and direction. I probably won’t need it for a while but it was nice working on it in a 65 degree garage now vs a 100 degree garage come summer.

Yessir. 👍🏻
All charged up and ready for summer. On a side note, while charging the ac my radiator fan didn’t come on. That lead me down another trouble shooting rabbit hole / thread and solved that problem. Dirty, burned contacts on the relay. These Fiero’s sure are a lot of fun in the garage! Actually, I enjoy working on it. Especially with the wealth of knowledge on this forum.
