Just a very fine foam filter in the pedestal inlet
grill - but this won't cause any loss of airflow
as there is enough free space in there to get
air from all sides (I had to take the pedestal
apart to replace my A/C blower fan - man what a
job !).

I just had mine evacuated and recharged and the
A/C guy said he added a special dye which allows
you to visually check for leaks with an
ultraviolet light.

I also added a larger electric fan in front of
the radiator I found a PeP Boys (of all places !)
and the system is FRIGID now !
