I'm taking the psi with guage only. The situation has changed a little. I drove the car around for an hour with AC on. At amb.80 temp, AC was blowing 53. I rechecked low-side pressure and now it's at 25psi w/compressor engaged, 40psi unengaged at idle. It only has 22oz R-134 so far.

About the schrader valves --- I'm not familiar with them, but I can tell you that all hoses and lines are replaced as they were, and I didn't notice anything strange. Which lines are they in and what do they do? JDL
