He sent me a base tune ready for the cam but did not suggest to not drive the car, so hope I don't do any damage!

should be fine if the LT trims are still used until its dialed in, just i always wonder how remote tuners dial the fuel in if they dont use a wideband, the narrow bands are just guess work when OL

As @07GTS mentioned, I would sugest getting a wideband. You can easy install in place of the rear O2 sensors to check open loop operation.

I would also sugest monitoring some vitals like LTFT STFT using at least a cheap Bluetooth obdii dongle and an old phone as a display. You will learn a lot about your car.

The A/C condenser you can just let the gas out of the valve its located close to the radiator cap and just get re gassed for about 100 bucks once job is complete
You realise most a/c places will drain a/c gas for free as it is harmful to the ozone layer if you just release it to nothing yourself.
Then they still charge you the same for a re-gas.

I think the last generation already ruined our Ozone layer down here.

That's what the Greens and young ones will have you believe.

Probably more like 2 or 3 generations ago.

CFC's was a major contributor and the only place that it's still used seems to be China.
