Seeking Suggestions/Tips before covering up the central A/C for the season.

For the ones Bubba listed, use a 1-1 ratio.
However, if you use Hydrochloric acid, just use it straight and rinse the
unit off 10 mins after application.
This is much easier since you don't have to mess around with measuring and
mixing the solution.

And you probably won't have to clean the coil next year, seeing how *there
won't be a coil.*

Im sorry. I got distracted. I was listening to the wind whip through
one of your ears and right out the other end.

Wouldn't you know it, just as I was done with cleaning the A/C unit
with the recommended solutions, the weather turned warm and needed to
have the A/C come on again.

But I find that it's making some awful weird noise and it's vibrating
violently as well. Any idea? I've left a message with my A/C
technician, but in the meantime, if someone can suggest some of the
things I can look into, I'd appreciate it.
