After reading the instructions a few times I took a day and disconnected from the condenser the hose that runs from the condenser and up the left side of the car. I also removed the hose from the mounting brackets underneath the car, from about the front of the wheel well and back. I then used a jigsaw to cut the hose under the car close to the point the hose entered the engine compartment. You kind of realize you are at the point of no return when you pull out the cut hose.

The hose that is shipped with the new condenser comes with a flare fitting and an o-ring fitting. You cut off the end with the fitting you do not need.
and route the new hose from the engine compartment to the bottom of the car. It is a tight fit and the instructions recommended lubricating the hose with wd-40 so it would slide through a little easier.

End of the old hose coming from the front and the end of the new hose coming from the end engine compartment.

After this I disconnected the hose from the receiver/drier and removed the old unit and mounted the new one. Done for the day. About 4 hours for a newbie. I then ordered my manifold set, vacuum pump and flush kit on Amazon and picked up some flush solvent at O'Reilys.
