i get a lot of stuff from https://donbrownbusparts.com/pages/ac-heating-parts it has been the best website ive found being completely clueless about most of the parts.
would have to see if you use the same hose in those crimp fittings.

fittings are sized similar to an 1/2=#8 , 5/8=#10, 3/4=#12 for that return hose youll need #10 or #12 hose. the adapters for compressor and drier will probably be #10
so youll need 5/8 FO (female o ring) x #10 hose :

Any way the engine mounts are bad and making it vibrate weird?

I’m so mad right now I can hardly see straight. This is officially the 4th time this line has leaked right here. What in the phuck is causing this? This is the third OEM line and it is welded this time. It’s lasted about 6 months since I’ve welded it and yes it leaked just a few weeks ago but that was from a different spot and caused by a bad seal. I’m beyond pissed off and honestly on the verge of selling this thing.

It’s got rear as well, I think I’m gonna try a few more things before I try to actually build a new line. I’ve never seen anyone else have these issues so something is not right and causing it.

First will be to remove and inspect the line better, it’s possible my weld failed or cracked.

Then I’ll go pro under the hood to see how much that thing moves. If it moves a bunch I have Atomic poly mounts on the shelf.

If that fails as well then new custom line it is.

Disregard my previous post.

I put poly mounts on my Camaro and I absolutely hate them. Bought gm replacements. Every vibration comes through the interior and up with the steering column. I haven't swapped them out yet but it's on the to-do list after I get the other million things done

I’ve been in some cars that are that bad with poly mounts and I’m not sure what the difference is but…. My RCSB with the same cam had no vibrations greater than stock and my buddies 408 Denali is the same. That thing chops hard as fuh and with poly mounts there are no more vibrations than stock. I swear it sounds ridiculous but it’s true. So I’ll try it
