My '80 245 DL has been with out working AC since it was aquired back in '88 or '89 I believe (so long ago.) Anyhow, how hard would it be to replace/repair the AC? I just did the heater blower motor a little while ago, and it couldn't be any more difficult then that. I can't varify it, but I'm pretty sure that the AC system has never been recharged, (I've never had it done, and the climate where the car was purchaced from was pretty cold, no reason to use an AC.)

When I turn the knob on inside the car, it does nothing. Not a single thing. With or with out the fan on. No noise, no air, not a thing. (When I did the heater fan, I didn't hook up the switch to the AC relay like the instructions said, but that's something I can do with little trouble.)

Any ideas where to start? The AC isn't nessicary, but after many many summers of sweating, I figure I should take car of this problem now if I can.

Thanks every one!
