I have not been here in a while due to computer issues. I probably have OEM fittings if you need some. Also. I see your questions have been answered. As far as oil capacity, remember the only component that requires oil is the compressor. The OEM compressor required about 11 oz of mineral oil if mem...

I had a 1998 Astro van with front and rear evaporators that you could hang meat in it. I have a set of the factory manuals on this vehicle if you're interested. They are in super clean condition. They have all wiring, unit repair, etc Email d k t v at aol. com

Just measured mine from my kit. Use the .070 size. Good luck on installing a VIR in a 1973 Vette. Make sure the top of the VIR is in the correct orientation. You may want to use a SMALL amount of Never Seize on the threads.

Those systems have a sight glass on the VIR so charge until the glass is clear. With your gauges connected, engine at 1200 to 1500 rpm, disconnect the blower resister, does the low side drop to approximately 30 PSI? If not, start looking at the POA inside the VIR ass'y.
