replacing low pressure ac hose
I discovered I have a leak in my low pressure ac hose coming from around the coupling. trying to find out if this is as simple as removing old hose, install new one and recharging the system? It still blows a little cold so I am wondering about freon still in the system as well.

Yes, fairly simple job. HIGHLY recommend replacing both low an high pressure hoses since system is empty already, and it eliminates guesswork where exactly leak originated. Don't forget to properly evacuate and vacuum the system prior to recharge. Amount of refrigerant is listed somewhere in FSM, but proper way to recharge is not by oz., but by pressure chart with ambient temps, also somewhere in FSM. You would also need about 1 oz of PAG oil (either 46 or 100, can't remember), either in a mix with refrig, or add through suction line.

I replaced it a week ago tomorrow and it seems good so far. I did not bother with the other hose as I could tell where the dye was coming out of my old one. apparently these lines are known to break on these cars as well...maybe add it to the list of all the other "bad" things on these cars
