Got the engine put back together and running smooth as silk, but I had to drain the Air Conditioning System. What's the best "do-it-yourself" way to recharge the AC on a 02 SS?
Thanks.
Thanks.

If you opened the system, have the system evacuated to get all air and moisture out and either recharge it (immediately) yourself, or have the shop do it. Normal F-bod AC freon capacity is around 1.5 lbs.
