AC Hose install
Bought and installed same kit 2 months back on my 87 when I had a single hose failure at the rear deck lid. Just figured at 23 years, couldn't be a bad idea. Very dirty and tedious to install all 5 but nothing horrible. New hoses seem to have aluminum fittings vs. steel on original if thats a concern. Old fittings are in excellent condition so no issue with re-use, I kept mine. The method of keeping the old fittings and putting on new hoses would work great if you have a place to do it close by. New green o-rings are available easy. New hoses are smaller diameter so they fit a little loose in the clamps but everything is secure because there are so many. Be sure to get a new dryer as the system has been open awhile at this point.
The old hoses actually looked remarkably good, inside and out once the dirt was scrubbed off a few of them.
