Anyone know a good resource for reproduction AC hoses? Having trouble finding these. 351C, if that matters.

I am not aware of these lines being reproduced. You may have to find a company to restore your original lines.

Danno, wouldn't you use the same lines for either R12 or R134? Just need to change other components like expansion valve?

not exactly. With new compressor, everything lines up a bit differently. Suppose you could make it work, but you would probably have to cut, trim length, and then you would have to have hose fittings recrimped.

Danno, thanks! Another question...so I thought the big black thing on the left (passenger) side of the engine with the AC lines running in and out of it was the receiver/drier. But it is not, the r/d is a smaller cannister attached to the condensor. So what is the other thing? The shop manuals do not identify it at all!
