I had a 85 RC,and I don't recall any "special connections"..pretty straight forward stuff. I can't remember but I thought the expansion valve is next to the evap core inside the engine compartment,again should be easy to change out. The evap itself..I never pulled one,so no help there. Replace the drier too and update to R-134 and you should be good to go.

Valve should be on firewall and held in place with one bolt.Its a block IIRC been a while since I did mine.If you get a R12 comprssor you will need an adapter kit to R134 unless you have R12.Cant remember what year they switched 12 and 134 hook ups are different sizes.Rocky

Those older C171 AC setups work best on R12, especially trying to cool a Ramcharger's interior. Same basic setup as my 87 Diplomat and when I converted it to R134 it did an OK job, but nothing like the R12 did.
No special tools needed, this is not a "modern" AC setup with special tools. When you pull the AC box odds are all the foam rubbed seals inside will be deteriorated, may as well make new ones, nothing special about them a sheet of foam cut to shape will work fine. Be a good time to really clean out that box too.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
