Well, it may be the best system but it's quite old and I have dumped a LOT
of money into old AC systems with no ROI before.  AND at least two PO's of
this van did the same.  The last dumped $1.7k into the AC and it is now not
working.  IF I can get a good reference for a VW AC repair shop near
Portland Oregon I'll leave it in long enough to explore the option.  This
list is likely the only place I will get a reference so . . .

I need the space, don't want the weight and am not really concerned about
resale value.
