does anyone know what to do in order to get the a/c running when doing a SOHC to DOHC swap? none of the lines seem to wanna fit. would i have to change the lines? and is that all? ive been looking around for an answer to this but couldnt find anything. if anyone has the answer to this please let me know. thanks!

you'll have to weld the one line to the ac compressor or make your own bracket... i skipped that when i was doing my sr swap..

Since it's a SOHC to DOHC, get the lines off the DOHC and voila, no welding at all. Change the seals on those though, if you're using R134 it will eat the seals for r12 systems.
