Hey Mike
Well, I decided to do the heater core, Evap, Condensor, Drier, Orfice filter, all line and most likely the compressor (<--again). Just doesn't blow cold enough for me. bounces between 48-51. What I was trying to decide is if I dont have enough time to do the Evap, and if there are no bolts or wires that needed to be removed from the inside, then I could do the heater core now, and then do the evap later.. I also have to figure out whats "clicking" when I turn on the washer pump form behind the dash, fix the shift selector, replace the bulbs inside the EATC Head, and in the idiot lights for the oil, brake etc and unplug the PCM and open to check for electrical burn smell.. Also want to check the GEM box to make sure its in good condition..
BTW I was told that you can reprogram the EATC to a lower setting so it will keep the compressor on longer thus making it colder. Any truth to this?
Any suggestions?

Hi Bryan
I can get you a picture of the inside bolt locations for the evaporator core box. That might help you a bit. I have a body with the dash all striped out. It's been a while since I've had one of those eatc modules out and can't remember if there is an adjustment screw on it. It's buried in there deep you will see it when you do that heater core. I thought I posted a picture of one a while back, search on eatc.
AC can be tricky the main problem is leaks. I would replace all the o rings and have the system evacuated at a shop. That's very important, the system will never cool right unless all air is sucked out. Then you can recharge it your self. That's the best way to save money on jobs like that. I wouldn't worry about the evap core or compressor, unless it is leaking there.
