Default Losing A/C cold after header installation!!!!!

After I installed the header in my car w/out header heat wrap, the A/C starts to lose its cold as it used to be. so the question is.

is it because of the header heat?

does anyone else have the same proble as I do?

Please help guys

my thought would be that it is because of the heat that the header is producing. Wrap the header in some heat wrap and see what happens.

Just a thought:

Iif you're cruising on the freeway and the AC is still not cold, it's probably just a coincidence and your AC system needs a recharge or a looking at . Reason being is that while cruising at freeway speeds, the ambient temp in the engine bay is actually quite cool regardless of the header
