Buy new hoses and an A6 compressor. Easy to use the old brackets. If you're going to run R134 get the lines with the correct o rings. R12 and R134 are different because of the oil type. The new compressor should come without oil so you need to put in the correct type and amount. Some of the A6 Frigidaires were notorious for leaking at the seal. Mine did it and I read about a double lip seal that can be installed. Found an a/c shop that knew what I was talking about and they installed a seal. Been 10-15 years ago. No leaks. I'm still running R12 in my 72 C10. If all your interior parts are there it might be easier to go original. Have fun.
