Gm Scott, not to go off the subject of ac but do you run coil over shocks on the front of your car?
Not currently...I'm running Hotchkis 1" drop springs and Koni shocks. Eventually I'd like to have coilovers, but that will wait until the interior is finished.

Yea I would like coil overs myself but the pocketbook says no lol! .But I am replacing my front coils with new ones (stock height ) with shocks for now because I can't run my bigger tires on the front because when I hit a bump the tire hits the top of the fender .

Hey now hey now, I was just young and dumb!

I too did the no A/C thing, but I also smoked in the car with the kids in the back. So I was batting 1000 in dumbass. It was my wife who changed all that. I wouldn't have learned that on my own either without some. . . assistance. Don't tell her I said that.

Sometimes, you just have to start over with everything brand new. It sucks, but not doing that has bit me in the rear more times than I care to remember. You might not need it, but there is an A/C repair 'how-to' in my signature.

What is the inside diameter of your rubber ac hoses?
Honestly I can't remember. Its been so long. What I did was just use a set of calipers and internet resources to make sure I had what I needed. Both the Vintage air universal kit and the local A/C parts house were also very helpful in that respect.
