Need help finding fittings for ac hose
Hey guys just like the title says I need help finding the correct parts to extend or make my own air conditioning line. i only need one line the comes off the the top passenger side of the ac condenser. this is off a 2000 formula ls1 car btw... I need a 90 degree fitting coming off the condenser, and from that point on its a straight stretch. any help will be appreciated, thanks!!

Since you said "correct" parts I'm assuming you meant stock. I needed the same High Pressure line for my '99SS back in 2012. Ended up buying it from GM at the local Chevy dealer for around $90. I was not able to find an aftermarket replacement at the usual auto parts stores. I guess they don't fail enough to warrant duplicating it. They have at least 6 bends in them. There are also welded vertical fittings for the HP cutout sensor at the manifold connection and the charging/bleeder valve connection near the top of the condenser.
If your setup is no longer stock, you could have one of these made up from any number of sources. Must be lots of these in the junkyard as well.

That is their Jeep-specific site but they are part of a larger company and sell everything for everything and pretty affordably. They can sell you the right fittings and hose by the foot.
Then hit the O'Reilly Auto website and look at stores in your area. There usually is one in/near every city with the equipment to make/crimp hydraulic hoses. Basically get the parts from above, mock it up and get it all just the way you want it, find your local store that does hoses, and take it over there and pay them a few bucks to crimp it for you. The folks at the first link will also let you do the same but ship the stuff back to them to have the ends crimped on.
Or if you are good at measuring they can just send it all to you already assembled. I say they are affordable as they sold me an entire kit to add AC to my Jeep for about $700. The hoses are a minor part of that cost I think.
