I am with you on replacing orings, air flow, vacuum, and charge. That said the total charge amount may not be guaranteed by the 80% calculation. Witness the 1989 k1500 chev at my the shop this moment. I have just finished rebuilding both drive axles and the a/c. The a/c was retrofit with new comp and accum a year or so ago by who knows, not me. The truck came in with leaking condenser. I installed a new condenser, new evaporator,orifice tube,o-rings,pag oil(w/ice) replaced the recirc actuator, cleaned the hvac housing and air distribution duct, installed new foam seals for air distribution. While pulling vacuum I checked published charge, "2.8 lbs"(r12). When charging, the low side reached "hard cold" @1.75 lbs.charge amount. I added an additional 2oz. and test drove the truck,,,coldest retrofit job I've ever done. The high and low side numbers were correct relative to ambient and RPM/airflow. The fan clutch moved air correctly. The cab was more air tight than most old trucks, the ambient temp was 100+ and it was frigid inside. I wish my junk made such cold air.
For me the 80% calc is not scripture, super heat and feel have worked consistantly for me since retrofit began maybe 20 years ago.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
