[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 431815, member: 18789"] Yeah I hear ya, lots of reasons. Same here. I left it in for years and I’m not sure why. I knew I was never going to fix those old parts. That system didn’t even have a pressure cutoff switch so it would just run the compressor permanently until you shut it off. It needed a new compressor and back in the day multiple different shops told me R12 or 134a (I know you can convert but I wanted the proper part). I think it used 134a because it was added later (2000ish) and the expansion valve said 134a. I think the shops telling me R12 were basing it off the year. Anywho, I eventually removed it for several reasons - easier dash access, cleaning up the underhood, and mainly to clean up the clutter of the interior and underhood of the Jeep. My compressor actually locked up in 2013 right after I bought the Jeep so I bypassed it with non-AC short belt when I was just a young punk teenager, long ago. Not knowing Jack shit about cars, hearing loud screeching is not what you want to hear on the Jeep you just saved up a year and a half for, working minimum wage! [/QUOTE]
