I've joined the ranks of those of us who have had their A/C system fail for lack of Freon. And that's where my question comes from.
I know that to make the change from the old stuff to the new stuff requires that the system be vacuumed out to have all the R-12 removed...but!!!...if the A/C system that formerly used R-12 has been empty for over a year or more, will all the freon be gone enough to the point that it won't need to be sucked out (since it's "all gone"); and therefore make it safe to use the R-134a kit right away?
