Ok so when I went to pull my radiator because it had a major leak in it i accidently disconnected two hoses that i now know goes to the condesor. Red fluid came out which i assume to be florean or however you spell it. Anyway my question is can i buy new fluid and put it back in myself or do i have to take it in because of the special way they put the stuff in. Thanks

Freon, and unless you have leaks I am pretty sure you can just recharge it yourself with those cans of R134A or whatever it is.

Edit: Actually, I see you have a '92. Unless your system is converted, I am pretty sure you still have R12. Hopefully someone with more info can chime in here.

What/which lines were disconnected.....lines on the driver's side of rad or lines on the passenger side by the battery?

Lines on the passenger side on the front of the car

They were the lines on the passenger front side and they were on the side of the condenser

Sounds like you disconnected your trans cooler not your ac lines, refrigerant is a gas not a liquid, it would have been very noisy if you unhooked those
Also the condenser is in front of the radiator not a part of it
Edit: Could also have been a aux trans cooler from a po

Those are the a/c refrigerant lines and I presume the system was charged so u've lost all of the refrigerant and some oil. The refrigerant has been replaced with air which contains moisture. To get back to square 1, X amount of oil should be added to the system and the system should be closed up and a vacuum connected which removes the air, which removes the moisture. At that point, X ozs of refrigerant should be added. Hopefully u can find out what X is for your '92. There's a little more to it than just adding some cans of refrigerant.

It sure would help if u would post a pic of what u disconnected. Tranny fluid is red/pink (or it should be if it's not neglected)......disconnecting a pressurized refrigerant line (without de-pressurizing the system 1st) would yield a small explosion, I would think, with crap going everywhere.

Here a picture of the hoses reconnected. I assumed I wouldnt just be able to put the freon back in without pressurizing it and like you said removing the moisture from the air that went in.

aux trans cooler not condenser, so just top off your transmission when you are done

That's a pic of the passenger front?

X's 2. The condensor would not be connected using worm gear clamps.
