84 Air Conditioning; how well does it work when fully functional?
Team,
Just thinking bout oud and at a crossroads whether to dive in and start working on the AC System on a 1984 that has already been converted to r134.
Wondering to myself with all that glass and 1980a technoligy- how well does the AC System even work when it is up and running well with 134?
Car is at my local shop now and it may be a small or large fix but that's not the case- would like to know how well she works...chilly or cold!
This is in the NY area where it can be hot and muggy almost any summer day. If I lived in Minnesota I probably would not bother.
T Top car if that helps with an answer.

I own a 88 with a transparent top that has been converted to R134A with the C68 digital control. This system is light years ahead of a C3 AC. Air blows cold but the fan does not blow as hard as a C5 and up so it takes a while to cool the interior. I put a static cling sun shade on mine for the Summer months and it helps when car is parked in the sun for several hours.
