Yes, it would be a good idea to at least check everything and
gas it up 'cause it can be big fines from the epa if it leaks too much and all
the like. My old man is a qualified air con guy and until I saw him do
some jobs, I didn't realise how tedious and careful you must be compared to
doing other things on a car. I know he always replaces the dryer and
replaces the oil in the compressor for every service. And yes the oil
is a special and expensive variety. You will save a packet by fitting all
the stuff yourself like you have done, but I can't stress enough how
important it is to get a qualified aircon guy to give it a service, gas up and
LEAK DETECTION!
I'm not sure how much it would cost but like any quality work
you definitely get what you pay for!!

Subject: Air conditioning
I don't suppose there are too many Datsun drivers
who drive in the luxury of air conditioning, but I happen to like
AC.
I own a '77 200B and I ripped an aircon out of a
'79 200B, but the condenser was broken, so I ripped the compressor and
condenser out of a bluebird but the evaporator didnt fit so I left the 200B
one in. The pipes on the evaporator (thats the box inside the car) don't
fit the pipes from the compressor and condensor. The regulator for the 200B
evaporator is inside the unit, instead of outside like in the Bluebird. So I
have ended up with two external threads that need to be joined together on
each of the pipes. Whats the best way to do this? Will brass adapters do the
job? Another problem is the pipes from the bluebird stuff are O-ring
connections, and the 200B evaporator has flanged ones. Will I have to get
the aircon guy to do it, and if yes how much might I be up for?
