Re: Options to connect new AC Compressor
Alright, that's encouraging. As an AC idiot, which parts of the AC hose assembly do I need to keep? Specifically, can I do without the chamber that the red fill port is attached to in my photo above? If yes, my plan will be to:
1) get a few crimp style fittings to attach to the compressor, like these, one with a red fill port.

2) Rent a crimper tool.
3) Cut the AC lines, removing the chamber with the red fill port from the system.
4) Crimp the hoses into the new fittings. Secure fittings to compressor.
5) Bring to an AC shop for them to add/cycle refrigerant. I don't know how that all works.
Thanks for the input.
