Re: Quick AC question

Hi Have a 86 4.3 tbi astro allegro motorhome. Air comes out of the right vents but when you change from a/c to say defrost it takes about 2 or 3 minutes before the change is made. Assuming this is a vacuum problem; but have checked most hoses and vac seems to be good. Goes to about 15 lbs and remain...
