Re: Options to connect new AC Compressor

I didn't mention it, but the truck's already been converted to R-134a, I bought it that way with the black compressor shown. If I understand, the POA valve is the component near the blue fill port in my photo above, and needs to be calibrated when refilling/pressurising the system by an AC professional, is that right?

I'm pretty sure the current hoses just need these type of fittings to connect to the new compressor. Or are the old and new compressors so different the new one, Sanden 508 style, will not work with my R-134a system?
