I was just wondering, what is that little air thingy that sticks up next to the filter box?

I am not sure about what you are talking about but maybe you are looking at the AC stuff? There is a tube and a bleader that goes next to the air box to the condenser.

yeah umm by the way, speaking of a/c mine isnt exactly the coldest, i mean it works and all but it isnt as cold as it should be, you think that tube has something to do with it?

Ok you have R-12 coolent. THis is very expensive to repair. I would say deal with the lack of AC, or upgrade to 134A
I am in the same boat as you. I have a dying ac system in my 93. It costs 30 for a pound of 12. But it is only sold at 30 pounds. Do the math. But R-12 is a better coolent, it isnt flamable under preasure, and it is cooler. So I am choosing to stick with it for the remander of the summer and deal with it next year.
