Also with the 134 charge you must use the correct oil compatible with the compressor and the 134. The compressor came shipped with oil which I drained and flushed out with the PAG46 Then I used a digital postal scale to get the correct amount of oil by weight into the compressor following the FSM for a new system with every component replaced . The amount of oil will vary depending on what is replaced in the system, so follow the FSM.

I also installed the updated 134 quick disconnect fittings onto the compressor manifolds but before I charged the system I also replaced the Schrader valves behind those fittings

The old compressor I'll rebuild and keep as a spare. The Manifolds you see here are from the new compressor and as you can see they point in the wrong direction to the rear whereas they needed to point to the passenger side so I used my old ones.

I did not have any cooling issues with the dual core radiator but I found a new plastic type fan shroud on Ebay that might help and it gives the engine bay it a cleaner look

I replaced the Brake Booster with a new one. All the boosters I found On Ebay seem to be for 2WD. I have had some good luck with Cardone Parts So The correct part number for a 4WD brake booster is 53-5175. I located one at Auto Zone online. This was one of the last things under the hood that was not replaced yet. My brakes work but Recently I have been experiencing a slow sinking pedal only at a stop. With no leaks at the wheels or anywhere visible I'm guessing booster or MC ?

First thing I did was to remove the inner fender splash shield, Mud Flap, and shove a towel down into the fender area behind where the mud flap was to keep metal shavings out when drilling. Then blue tape the entire area to protect the paint

With using these fender washers I found that I wanted them to go as low in the pocket as they could and not be sitting too much out of the pocket

In order to achieve this on some not all of the pockets had to have a little material removed with a dremmel
