Alright, so my 93 civic's ac is out. I need to know, can i recharge it by myself? if so, what do i need? If not, how much do you think it would cost?

 

I can tell you that I personally just spent this past weekend on my 95 Civic

1) A/C Compressor $299.95 rebuilt w/1 yr warranty
2) Dryer/Receiver $21.00
3) A/C Flush Kit (bottle and nozzle) $69.00
4) 1 can flushing liquid $13.00
5) 2 cans 19oz R134a (16oz R134a, 3oz PAG oil) $40
6) A/C Compressor Belt $16.00
----------------

Lots of help from my shadetree mechanic friend (about $40 dollars worth of beer!)

You may not need all of the above.

I made my purchases at O'Reillys (http://www.oreillyauto.com/EW3/HomePage.do) except for the Flush Kit which I purchased at NAPA and the beer from QT.
