More A/C help please...

[rufus]

I was pretty excited to get cold air out of the vents after I swapped in my "new" used compressor. However, after trying it out on a moderately hot day, I am less enthused. The coldest temperature I can get at the vents is right above 60º. This was with about 80º ambient temperature, the thermostat in the cabin set to 65º, and a bright light shining on the sunlight sensor just to be sure.

I am planning to clean out the condensor, and I would like to replace the filter/dryer or liquid tank or whatever you want to call it as well. Subaruparts.com does not show this in their catalog for the 92-93. Does anyone know if the one listed for 94-on will fit? (part number 73031PA020, or 73411 on the diagram).

I am running R134a in the system, I just want to make sure the hose fittings are the same size and it will physically fit in the bracket.

Also, does anyone have any other ideas on things to check? I am pretty sure I have just about the right amount of refrigerant in there, as I have experimented with raising and lowering the amount in the system and checking the results with a digital thermometer.

Any help or suggestions, as always, are appreciated
