gchemist, the hoses are actually new ones from advanced auto. They are factory replacements for my 87 and are made for r134a. At least thats what they said. Just before i tackled this project i had to replace the old hoses due to a cut in one. Got the new set from advanced for $35. I was hoping i could reuse them since they are brand new. Thats why i tried them out.

If i took hoses to the shop would they reuse the connectors i have and recrimp to new hose? Or would they need new connectors?
