2 summers ago I thought it was a good idea to take my AC out of the car then I relized a black car with black interior needs AC. So I bought all new lines and was installing them today. I can't remember how the line that goes from the condenser to the evaporator goes. The way I think it goes it runs close to the header so I had second thoughts about that. Could someone post a pic or just let me know how that line is run.
Thanks
Tom
Also the car in a 90 LX

One line goes from the top RH of the compressor to the condenser up front of the radiator. One line goes from the condenser to the evaporator. This line runs by the passenger side exhaust system & may have an insulation wrap . One line with the accumulator canister runs from the evaporator to the top LH side of the compressor. This line definitely should have the insulation wrap.

See http://jrichker.stangnet.com/Mustang_tech/R134a_conversion/R134a_conversion.htm for R134a conversion help.

TT bump.

Maybe I can check later today, but it is down next to the frame rail.
