i'm fixing my compressor tommorow and refilling later this week, what should the pressures be for a 96?

no idea, should it say it on the compressor?

I have them, but wont be able to look anything up until wednesday night when I get home

My 96 Park Avenue has the V5, and I'm not sure what the specs say the pressure should be running at, but when I had gauges on it, with the A/C on full blast at idle, it was at 30 psi, and then I reved the motor up, it dropped to 25 psi and stayed put. Even with the fan on low and the motor reved up, it would stay on 25 psi. So, I would say wou should be shooting for 25 psi, but that'* only what I saw my car running at, and the A/C works almost too good in it. The high side through out was from 170-190 psi, but it was only about 80* outside with almost no humidity. I think as long as the high side is under 250 psi, your fine.

I've been reading around, and it seems that the consensus is that the V5'* should run the low side at 45-50 psi, and 25 psi would indicate a low chage of freon. Hummm?????? I'm going to do some investigation, because if this is so, I'm low on freon!

There'* an old addage for this one.. if it ain't broke...don't break it!
