$70/ pound??? what year is the car your working on? anything after 95ish is r134 which is almost $15/pound at walmart(no license required). and if it's earlier than that it's r-12(license required). as of about 8 months ago in phoenix i paid $26/lb. and r-12 is the expensive stuff. i have a license, so i can but that too.
lemme know if you still need help. if you have gotten a leak (hint, hint) you wontn't need to pay a refer shop to evacuate the system. then have someone (me, you, anyone) replace the compressor. you will then need to replace your rec/drier. and have a shop stick a vacuum on the system, and charge it with refer.
or i have acess to a vacuume pump, but it's in phoenix(overnite ups). a shop will put your system on a vacuum on your system for ~15 minutes. that enough to evaporate the moisture entered your system in the time it takes to replace a component. unless you pull a vacuum for longer than a few hours.
enough nutshells?
