Thanks all, just to update. I replaced a some of the O-rings with my generic kit. I didn't do them all and I did not do the Schrader valves. I had 7 cans of R12 at my moms house so I charged the system. Cools at around 38-42 degrees. The issue I am having now is with the compressor clutch. At first it would not engage at all. I had power at the plug when I jumped the low pressure switch but no clutch engagement. I whacked it with a 2x4 and it engaged. After I charged it, I took the clutch apart and cleaned it and then I cycled it on and off using the battery and some wire. It seemed to engage and disengage after that. Now when driving, it tends to disengage randomly. Sometimes after 5 min. Sometimes after 30 min. Random......Whacking it with a 2x4 makes it work again. Obviously something is wrong with the clutch. I might try and clean it again before I replace it. This time I will take the pulley off. It can't hurt as it is just my time.
In the mean time. I have ordered an o-ring kit as I think I may have a leak in one of the connections I messed with When I repaired my air pump, I noticed that the AC lines were a little oily near the air filter box (the ones erratic warned me about). I cleaned them off but have not had a chance to look at the connections again.
