I just did the conversion to my son's 84 GL. Picked up the kit for $39.95,
a can of stop leak/leak detector for another $4.00. Total time to attach
fittings and recharge, etc. under 40 mintutes. The kit had three cans of
refrigerant and a can of oil..used all three cans and the oil. I'll
probably add one more can of refrigerant for good measure.
