Yep, I hear you on that one. I resisted signing up on photobucket as long as I could, but I finally had to give in...now the photos are better, but the process takes even longer.

You are moving along at a good pace jimmyg, nice work. Are your stock A/C lines going to work, or do you have to get parts off of a later model G-body?

I think the Ac lines will work with a little tweaking . The compresser is clocked a little different and is closer to heater box now . I have 2 sets so I was going to try to bend old one to see if it would go then maybe take to Ac shop to have them shorten rubber part of hose. How did u guys connect yours? And also what did u do about plugs being different? Can u order pig tail?

We used the Aeroquip reusable A/C fittings and hose on our Monte, if your plan doesn't pan out you may want to look into them as they work great. I will check on pigtail info for you tomorrow morning.
