Re: L83 Swap 1988 Suburban - Stock AC Compressor

Yes if that block will work for you (It wouldn’t fit my location) then you can make custom hoses from this block to your original connection locations. Napa has the hose and ends and can make them for you. My Napa will crimp for free.
Is the l83 compressor r134a also? If it is you are golden.

However my biggest hurdle is just trying to find adapters to allow my Suburban AC lines to attach to the 2016 AC compressor. Similar to the item link below.

I just haven't found a good way to connect the Suburban AC lines to the compressor. Reading threads it looks like some folks have done it but I'm unclear how they did it and what hardware they used.
