anyone ever run into the problem of the compressor to condensor a/c line being too long on a 350 swap? buick 350 never came in these cars so i cant exactly just go buy the right line, i know lines can be made but not sure if this one can due to the compressor side fittings. system is in one piece and still has a charge so i was hoping to keep it but with that line all kinked its not going to work very well haha.

Put the compressor on and take it to your local a/c mechanic and let him run new lines and switch it over to 134-a refridgerant it gets colder than the old r112

r12 is colder than 134, leaks less too.

i did think of looping it like that and is probably the route i'll take. good looking engine bay there.
