lol, id rather have the condenser go out then the evaporator. THAT would F my day right up!

There is no leak, the a/c works great. Just makes a loud moan and horrible vibration at around 1300rpms. I just mentioned the leak test since its included with the service. and its a good idea to make sure you didnt pinch any o-rings before you load it up with $20-30 worth of refrigerant.

Im really not too worried (famous last words) about any major issues. I plan taking it out through the passenger side wheel well. The manual also says to remove the lower air deflector for better access to the rear, but hopefully ill be able to skip that step
