Compressor has 35 delphi on it. Can't easily see other numbers. Sticker says pickup 134a capacity is 1.8 lbs. Still would like to know appropriate high and low side pressures for the above vehicle would be at 80 degrees or so. thanks

Depending on humidity, low side says anywhere from 35-44psi and high side anywhere from 182-212psi.
