While I wait for my trans,, I continue to research things. Let’s continue to talk AC and let me preface it with I’m hardly an expert. I do know I have to have it though.
If I understand AC systems correctly, the compressor compress the refrigerant converting it to high pressure which then flows to the condenser (radiator) to cool it (still high pressure) then off to the evaporator (converts to low pressure to create the cooling) to cool the cabin air. In looking at the AC lines going into the cabin, there is a very small metal line which I assume is the high pressure line going in and the larger is the low pressure coming out. They both stick out way too far and need to be modified to lay closer to the firewall.
The ends of these lines going into the firewall look a bit unique to me. I’ve captured these images from ebay. It looks to me the output side (low pressure) has the bracket attached to it that mounts both to the firewall. The high pressure side just slips into the bracket and is compressed against the firewall. Note the single o-ring.


Does anyone know if these are standard fittings or unique to the FRS???
