A/C woes

Trying to service my A/C today and I broke off the pipe that goes from the receiver/drier into the radiator. It broke right at the radiator so I don't think it can really be fixed. Now I have 2 new cans of refrigerant worth $70 and nothing to do with them.

Yes, but I think you will need to vacuum (sp?) out the normal air before you put in the refrigerant.
I am no AC expert, but I know I had to do this when I was on my Uncles farm when we ( I ) broke an AC line on the tractor.

You guys think JB will do it? Even under that much pressure? The pipe is completly off
If I can fix it, is Vacuuming it just a proceedural issue or somthing only an A/C shop can do?
Is the JB Alum-weld the same as regular JB or do I need that specific kind?

There are tonnes of guys who have gutted the A/C out of their car
Maybe Steve or Merlin has the part you need.
I was lazy and cut everything.....

You mean the "radiator" that sits in front of the engine radiator?
I have that, for 40bucks + shipping it's yours.....

Not sure, AFAIK it's the big radiator. The A/C system on my car seems to use the center two rows of the main radiator for its own purposes.
