Yeah I can see this point... but I'm just thinking that the R22/R410 closed "system" is basically [evap/coils - lines - condenser]. I just can't see how the blower motor or electric heater element or any other parts of the air handler or heat pump would make a difference. Which is why my thought is that replacing the condenser and evap/coils would be all that was needed unless there is some crazy difference in the line sizes.
I finally remembered I have a buddy who does this for a living in Austin who I have sent a message to. Hopefully he can set me straight. I have a sneaking feeling the costs will be about the same no matter on this.
Interesting guy who has been doing this for years after retiring from profession bull riding. He even came back for a while and tried the "senior" circuit.
