A/C stock to Sanden to stock

[tsgs84]

I bought this truck with factory air, the compressor suction and pressure lines along with the A/C comp were nonexistent. Any way I did a new SBC with a March Performance serpentine kit with a 7176 Sanden compressor I know the Sanden fittings I need but don’t know what the spec’s are for the stock fittings only that they need to be female to connect to both the receiver/dryer on the suction side and on the pressure side to the condenser although they are different sizes.
Thanks, Timmy

I did similar a few years ago. Look at Vintage Air's website. They have any fitting you will need. Be sure to preassemble the fittings on the hoses and index them when you have them crimped on. If not aligned, the finished hose can be in a bind permanently.

Thanks, I’ll check their site and appreciate the tip about hose orientation

I called them, as you suggested and actually the compressor manifold I got from Jegs was there product. Anyway the guy told me to call Old Air Products because I didn’t know what I needed, So I did,I told them year make model of truck and what compressor I had. They told me what I needed so I bought, prices were reasonable although shipping was ridiculous. Stay tuned!

I bought mine from cold hose.^^^ You do have to find out what sizes are what tho and do your homework. Then you have to be sure you have your fittings aligned a certain way
