A/C recharge-update 850 1996

Update- I bought the afore-mentioned Interdynamics kit to do the recharge. Instructions were simple and easy to follow although I did have one small problem. The kit recommends a recharge if a pressure reading of 0-25 PSI is taken on the low pressure fitting. Mine would cycle between 25 PSI and 45 PSI which is supposed to be normal. I decided to go ahead and add a bit of refrigerant anyway and immediately noticed a difference in the output at the vents.

I was concerned about overfilling it but given that the temperature did drop significantly, I can only assume that it was the right thing to do. Thanks for the tips!
