The videos were very informative - especially the one that tells how to
clean the condenser.  Although it looks like a simple job, I don't think I
would do it  my self, as I have several pets and don't want to use any
toxic chemicals on my property.

Someone on this forum recommended a place near where I live that
specializes in air conditioning for vintage vehicles.  I went there today,
and the manager told me they had done 3 Vanagons in the past 30 days! I
will be going there on Monday morning to have them take a look at my AC.
It looks like there's a good chance I'll have a functioning air conditioner
very soon!
