Question type: Maintenance & Repair

recently had numerous parts off to be powder coated, put it back together but lost my vacuum and emissions hose key. may have put some on incorrectly routed. Could this be problem or is there another more plausible solution.

I have a 1969 Chevy Corvette. I have rebuilt or replaced almost every thing. I have not replaced the original A/C compressor but converted it to the new Eco friendly freon. I had it tested three times, had the cooler boxes cleaned out, fan replaced, yet I have trouble getting the car cool. I live in So. Cal. where it is a necessity of life to have the A/C work as good as when new from the factory. I put in heat/sound shielding under the floor mats, and had all components check for proper functioning. I was thinking of going to a serpentine belt system that would get the newest A/C compressor with the system. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions? 9 Answers

The A/C system does not leak, holds the proper pressure
