BTW, been using this photo for reference when discussing hoses, special fittings, hard lines, etc with my local a/c parts/rebuilders/custom shop. I too purchased the Cold Hose adapters that send the compressors fittings straight to the front. Make sense for the high side, but not for the low side which can go straight up and still clear the frame. So, I asked the local shop if he had the high side regular adapter and said out of them, but on order and hard to get because of metal shortage, etc. But, he said just bring in the donor hose/fitting and he will make what I want. Bingo! Why didn't I think of that? Glad I purchase the entire donor vehicle. So, going straight from compressor to accumulator with a #10 hose stepped up to #12 at the accumulator.
