Diagram of HVAC Venting?

[Jon Boyer]

R134a systems are not as efficent as R12 systems.  The cars designed for
R134 have larger evaporators to cope with this refridgerants lower heat
capacity.  So... your problem may not be solvable.  I don't know hwat
compressor your 87 has on it, but there seems to be some debate about which
compressors are better when converted over to 134a.  I am considering the
conversion on my 89 200 (especially after 90+=B0F yesterday).
