Just to provide some closure, here is the final damage:

Parts: Accumulator, evaporator, A/C pressure switch, R134A, etc. abt. $700

Labor: $960 This is in Norfolk VA. My indie's hourly rate is in the $60s. By comparison, the local dealership rate is $107.

Add some sales tax, and the grand total was $1695.64.

For that sum, I have received a partially refurbished A/C system AND a valuable lesson.
