A/C systems are awesome. Almost like magic. It's amazing to me that a 44 year old refrigerator in my house can still be working and never need the addition of freon. Simply amazing. Great video and great explanation, as usual. Thank you!
I like to think of the "magic" happening at the transitions. High pressure to Low, Low Pressure to high. You said that. lol But I like to remember that part. Low to High makes heat. High to low makes cold. Pretty sure of that. Hahah! Great work here.
Nice work, very detailed. A re-engineered Jaguar from head to tail will be a conversation piece for many, many years. Chip Foose does good work but he has a dozen experts working for him. Wonder if he could do all this by his self like you are?? Great video on this part, now waiting for the killer stereo and interior episode😉 Thanks for all the hard work in front of and behind the camera.
I'm bummed that you received a compressor that didn't have the lubricant in it! I presume there's no way to ascertain beforehand whether the compressor has oil in it or not. That sounds...perverse... I'm glad you overcame, though. You did a beautiful job! 👍
I am disappointed as well. At the end of the day, it's my fault for not confirming. I bought a new one and it came with instructions stating what to do about the oil. I think I misplaced these instructions with the original compressor.
I enjoyed the video. Your dedication to complete the process and captute the video to share are appreciated. The car really turned out nicely and I hope you are still driving it when your 60.
I don't know what your local ambient temperature is but 38ºF seems a little cold for the output (usually an indication of too little refrigerant). Also your controls should keep it from getting that close to freezing, otherwise your core (evaporator) will freeze up.

A very comprehensive video explanation of a complicated process. Thanks for making this understandable for us non- engineers.

Excellent
Could you have used a Camaro condenser on the engine and avoided a custom connection? Or was it easier using a Yukon condenser with the pcm?
Surprised you mounted the txv in the engine compartment, rather than inside the car's cabin. Gets really hot in the engine compartment.
I don't need it, but you should know that the "better video" for adding refrigerant is not available.
Fixed. Thanks for the catch!
