Yes. Got the parts from Pelican Parts. Replacing the avaporator is a PITA, but do-able as a DIY. Put aside a weekend for the job, as you will be taking out the fuel tank, the firewall and the entire airbox. If you search the archives, there are a few great threads with how-to instructions for this job.

I have a thread but all photos are now gone... let me try to recreate it (update with reload of the photos)...

Replacing Evaporator

Here is a copy of the email I got on the parts (received on Mon, 23 Feb 2004 5:52:42 AM EST):

"A) New receiver drier, R134a charge port adapters, necessary orings for ports you will open,
R134a oil, R134a charge and oil record sticker, $100.00

B) New after market copper (yours is aluminum) evaporator with new expansion valve $368.00

C) Check your hoses attached to the compressor, the set two hoses are prone to leakage and wear, $256.00 for the set.

D) Evacuation, charge and test should be done by an competent ac shop with R134a equipment.
