Not everyone here (myself included) is an AC Expert. Your question requires an answer from a true expert. Maybe did not give it enough time. Maybe could have done a search for AC posts and found the name of an expert here that you could have sent a PM to. I am sorry I did not respond right away with the statement, "I don't have a clue".
