AC lines done, charged and holding pressure with no leaks. Next step, test when the engine is running.

Ended up having to use the factory bulkhead connections.

Re-bent the small line to clear the engine.

The larger low side line I re-bent into a 90 degree turn the opposite direction of how it was made, welded a fitting and used 10an Aeroquip AC lines to the compressor.

8an Aeroquip from the compressor to the condenser.

Covered it all in fireproof silicone sleeve to help protect where the lines rub other items, keep safe from heat and also I didn’t want the look of stainless steel braided hoses.

Drained the oil from the compressor and refilled the system with 4.75 oz PAG 46

I went with the factory Brz fill of 13.8 oz R134

Sound about right on the oil and charge?
