I'm looking to change out my whole A/C system. Since I'm in Texas, I'd like to do it in the winter or, at least in the next couple of months, would rather be recommended, or should I wait until summertime?

Still need parts and to buy a vacuum pump for said repair

It's hard to test for correct function if it's too cold, and it can be hard to get the orings in when they're cold and stiff, but being Texas I'm guessing your cold isn't that cold.

It'll be fine.

60°F will be fine?

Yes I'd think so. That's far from real cold.

Oh yeah that's fine. I'm from the mountains so "cold" is anything under 30 lmao A/C doesn't work that cold. But at 60 it'll be fine.
