proper fluids and best resources?
I have a 94 c2 - Is there a preferred fluid for brakes / clutch? Also, I would like to pick up a single coil wire, dist cap and clutch slave - any recs on resources?
Also, it seems my AC condensation pools under the front of the car, does that seem normal? i thought all the hardware was inthe back of the car? If not the Ac, any excplenation for why I have water pooling under the front of the car?

The part of the AC system where water collects on the cold bits ,
where the refrigerant is let go from the high pressure to the cooling lower pressure
is just ahead of the dash .
The AC pump compresses the refrigerant and send the refrigerant to a nozzle that sprays the refrigerant into a heat exchanger . Its this spraying that causes the refrigerant to "cool" .
The heat exchanger is cooled and the air flowing over the cooled heat exchanger is cooled and when it is cooled water drops out , condenses on the surface of the heat exchanger . This water runs off off the heat exchanger and needs to be dumped overboard .
AC in a nut shell .
The pump compresses the refrigerant .
When the refrigerant is compressed it heats up .
The heat of the compressed refrigerant is dumped over board via a radiator .
The cooled compressed refrigerant is sent to a nozzle to be spray out to a lower pressure .
The release of pressure drops the temperature of the refrigerant .
The lower pressure refrigerant goes back to the compressor to be compressed again .

Vertex is a sponsor of this forum and not a bad deal .
Your brake parts are made by ATE ,
they make some good brake fluid .
Blue ATE is blue in color .
When you use it to flush the Gold ATE ,
you can see the change in color when the new color starts coming out the bleed nipple .
If you have a system full of blue , you can then buy the gold and do the same color change indication check .

Good stuff guys, thanks. I do understand the function of of AC units - I just thought that it would drop from behind the car, not front. I didn't realize the number of parts forward of the dash.
Thanks!
Thanks!
