I am looking into doing some work on my a/c system. it currently has the r4 radial compressor and had r12 in it. compressor is on the driver side like most g bodies.

where do I get a/c lines if I wanted to swap out to a sanden a/c compressor like all the aftermarket aluminum brackets are designed for?

what do I need to retrofit system for use with 134a?
how about r12a? is this a direct r12 replacement?

lots of info floating around that conflicts.
 
If you use the Sanden FLX7 compressor, your stock hoses will work.For R124a replacement, Flush everything well with AC flush. Replace the accumulator, orfice. Use Green o-rings. Don't overcharge.
