Make sure that you have the coolant r134a because the government banned the other coolant used due to chemicals that are worse for the environment. Corsica's usually take 2 1/2 cans if the ac is blowing warm inside the car. Oh , and you could get fined if you are caught doing this on the street.
You will need a hose to attach to the low end of your cooling lines. The low line is at the back of the motor, closest to the firewall. You can purchase the hose from autozone, napa, etc. (Coolant line is silver metal hose with plastic screw on plastic cap)
Follow the instructions with the kit. The hardest part will be getting the hose onto your cooling line because it's under pressure and your motor will be hot.
1. Just make sure the hose is securely attached and be careful to not burn yourself.
2.You'll need to screw on the can of coolant to the free end of the hose until you cant turn anymore, that pierces the can open and locks off the line to keep the coolant from spilling.
3.Then turn it back all the way to open the line and let the coolant flow. About 10-15 turns.
4.Then you have to turn your ac on inside the car and this will suck the coolant into your ac line.
5. Go back to the can and hold it until you feel that it is empty- it should be ice cold and empty.
6.Quickly take off the empty can quickly and attach another, turning to pierce the can and turning back to open the flow.
7. QUICKLY remove hose and place cap on the line.
8. Drive your car around for about an hour. (Keep an eye on the temperature guage.) This will allow for the line to expel any air and for the line to circulate the coolant good.
**As you add the coolant go inside the car to see if the air is beginning to blow colder. If not, this could indicate that the coolant is leaking out. You can actually see if it is, as it is neon green. If that is the case, you may need to replace the clutch compressor unit ($260-$315, or $75 used at junk yard. Better to buy it new)
