AC Compressor Hose Help

A/C stopped working, trying to figure out why and uncovered that the hose from the deck lid condensor had cracked at the connection point at the compressor. I purchased this car from a prior owner that upgraded the AC to a Kuel R134a unit and all the lines appear to be new.

What are my options? I'm thinking about having a local hose shop put on a new end fitting, but I'm not sure if they will have one specialized that will have the pressure sensor fitting. Can I just eliminate the pressure sensor?

Anyone recommend a reputable shop online that I could mail the line for repair?

New one from Griffiths is $160 but it appears the hose itself is in great shape. It even still has the label on it. Trying to keep costs down, I believe a new fitting is fairly cheap.

At this point, it doesn't appear any fluid leaked anywhere, can I simply get a can for R134 like AC Pro and just recharge after the line is fixed?

Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
