I'm trying to do the conversion. I have a kit with the new fittings & o-rings. I have the new oil, a can of stop leak & detector & 3 cans of r134.

I wanted to start by installing the new fittings on the pump, problem is the shrader valve (if that's what they are) is in the way. Am I suppose to remove the valves in the filler ports on the pump? The instructions are very vague.

I think I'll start by bringing the car to get it evacuated. Then I'll get it home & clean out the pump. (remove the old oil if I can) I have a new expansion valve & dryer which I'll replace. As well as any of the o-rings as needed. But what else should I do? I've never done this & it's getting really hot around here.

What I was planning on was just evacuating the system, replace the fittings, orings, dryer & expansion valve. Install the oil the stop leak (precaution) & add the r134. Is that it?

TIA.
