A/C hoses through core support to condenser/drier
I'm getting ready to put my grille back on, and I'm wanting to install the condenser before I do. The connecting hoses for the condenser and drier were missing, so I'm trying to figure out what I need to get back through the core support. I'm not tackling the rest of the A/C at the moment, I just want everything on grille side to be connected with lines running back through. Any suggestions on what I need? Thanks for the help.

Re: A/C hoses through core support to condenser/drier
The radiator support has a large hole that takes a big rubber grommet like this pictured from GMC Paul's store.
![]() There are no hoses on the grill side of the radiator support, just hard lines. The hoses are connected on the engine side of the radiator support. Here is a picture from LMC truck parts. ![]() GMC Paul's sells the tubing set here https://gmcpauls.com/ac_only.htm and grommet here https://gmcpauls.com/rubber&ws1.htm |

Re: A/C hoses through core support to condenser/drier
Thanks so much for the help, and info. I will order that tube kit.
Follow-up question. I think I remember some shims or rectangular washers being behind the condenser at the mounting points. Does that sound correct? |

Do you plan on switching to 134? If so you'll want to purchase the line kit that goes with the new 134 style condenser.

Before you order the tube kit ask yourself this question: Are you running R134a? If so, consider installing a parallel flow condenser and having custom tubes made.
