2 in 1 - AC Evaporator location & SA,TX car painter?

Hey guys,

Alright, since I didn't want to waiste off 2 different posts, I decided to do a 2in1.

1st off -- AC Evaporator location on a '92 4runner, its leaking and I need to replace it, as I waisted 50 bucks on an r12 conversion just to find this out.. I need to know the exact placement of the Evaporator core, is it under the glove box next to the heater core (the fan, heater core, then the evap core?) as I'm going to replace this myself.

2nd off -- Is there anyone here in San Antonio, TX or surrounding areas that might want to paint my truck for me? If so, what price?

I want to either repaint my truck white, or take my stripe off and rhino line the bottom half, and repaint the top half white. Anyone like to do this for me?

Edit --- gets to the manual, but doesn't say a location.

You'll have to check around for shops to do the painting for you. The hard part is finding one that'll work with customer money (instead of insurance money).

ackits.com claims to have evaporators for '92 4Runners for under $100.

note: I'm not affiliated with ackits.com at all, just have purchased things from them in the past so they're bookmarked.
