1979 Chevrolet C70 Conversion to OEM Air Conditioning

Got the cab finished! Glad to have this portion of the rebuild done! Purchased a temporary 30 day tag so I could take it to town to have Air Conditioning lines made. When I started to pump the system down I remembered it was configured for R-12. Another trip to the parts store to get the R134A adapters.
I pumped AC system down, serviced with oil charge, then started adding the first can of Freon R-134A. Much to my dismay, I discovered I had fabricated lines that hooked the low pressure side to the discharge of the compressor and the high pressure side was connected to the suction. Some days you just cannot get it right! Hopefully I can figure out a easy fix as I am using the original GM style connectors on the compressor.
