I'm completely new to automotive A/C stuff and I'm stuck on an issue.

I've got a 97 S10 that I swapped a 4.8 vortec V8 into. I've got everything wired and set up for A/C but I need custom lines from the compressor to drier and compressor to condenser.

My problem is that I can't figure out what kind/size fittings are on the drier and condenser. They are screw on style but is there and industry standard that's used or is it manufacturer specific? How would I find out this info?

Thanks!

This might help. Remember after identifying what fittings are needed, call AMA (site sponsor above) with your hose specs and they can make them for you.

Thanks man! That's the most useful document I've seen yet. With that I should be able to figure out what ends I need.

Thanks again!
