there would be no fluid - he means the air intake pipes check under the bonnet the large pipes that go to the throttle bodies (2 each side) make sure there secure - they are the easiest to get to 1st

Re-wiring connectors......
IMO soldering is a far better way of joining wires than crimp connectors.

Aircon recharge...
AFAIK they all have A/C if you set the temperature below ambiant temperature then the A/C should cut in to cool the incoming air. set it to 10 & it will blow cold air all the time

theres a few different refrigerants that are compatible with the old oil R49 is the one i have listed from a supplier thats on my desk at the moment :) the only problem is it costs twice as much as R134a :(

R12 was used in most cars up to about 10 yrs ago when thay went over to R134a the problem with mixing is not with the gas - that can be evacuated. its with the oil used. the 2 types ar not mixable - R12 oil is mineral based, R134a oil is synthetic. put R134a in an old R12 system & the old oil in the system turns to jelly & doesnt mix.
-
ANOTHER air-con question....
it is illegal to fill any system with R12 now, so unless you can find an unsavoury type to fill it for you its not much use
