Yes, I still have A/C hooked up on my car and YES it still blows cold air. But I have a question....

there's a line that runs from the a/c condenser across part of the intake and along the firewall. That line is covered with a foam insulation piece. Mine is pretty dry rotted and looks old. Anyone know if they sell a replacement or have used something from the hardware store?

Let me know. That's one piece of my engine bay I'd like to make look nicer

The last time I needed some foam covering for an A/C line, I went to Home Depot. Cheap and easy.

I used the black pipe insulation they sell in the plumbing section at Lowes. Be sure to get the one that has a smooth outer surface. They have some that has a porous outer surface, and doesn't look as nice. Plus it would probably collect dirt in the pores. I used zip ties in the factory locations, and you would never know the difference.

+ (2?) on the Lowes/Home Depot thing. It's sold in sticks of various inside diameters for about $6.
