an R-134 retrofit can be done at any honda dealer.
The engine does not have to be pulled to replace the compressor clutch. I
would recommend replacing the Clutch and stator both if one of them is bad.
a dealer shouldn't charge more than 3.5 hours of thier flat rate labor. plus
probablty 275.00 in parts.
