Gathering parts for aux evaporator install...if budget allows, I would like to replace all my refrigerant lines, however, I may just tee in aux line now...the compressor line looks big, anyone know if it's -10 or -12? (5/8 or 3/4) return suction side looks like -8 and drier hose looks like -6. Can anyone confirm?
Am I better off just replacing the 42 year old hoses? Any thoughts on ez-clip by aeroquip? Am I looking for headlock or barbed with crimp ring?
Thanks.

Sean,
I think that you have the line sizes reversed. The smaller line is the liquid or high pressure side and the bigger line if the vapor or the low pressure line. This would be a good time to replace the hoses to the compressor. You can get them from several GMC suppliers and if you take it off and go to a place that make AC lines they could replace the rubber sections and you would be good to go. You can also get the necessary Tee’s and fittings from the same people. Go to the yellow pages and let your fingers do the walking, or buy new.
