I did this based on the advice from the AC guy I bought the stuff from at "Classic Auto Air". He said the original stuff is rubber and will fail *eventually with R134a. Also remember that I was *adding the rear unit.
But if I had a rear unit in there already, I would be really tempted to not replace the lines until they failed.

For me, I wanted to maximize for success, and so far following good advice has done that.
C'om by, bring some beers and lets get you sorted!
