Failure of ABS system created a loss of fath in ABS as a means of stopping. Donot trust that it will work spent 2x's orig . Cost to fix. Air conditioner lost freon due to leaks in the coil built in the dash. This caused oil to plug the fins thus blocking air flow. It was stated that gm used a crimping process instead of sodering the fins when they built this type of receiver.if you do not fix , you will not get full air for the defrosters to work.
