Does some of the KA24DE A/c lines fit on the 1990 and lower models? One of my lines that lead to the firewall on the passenger side, i think its the one go to the Evap. core, got bent when my fan clutch broke.

The only AC lines that should be different are the ones that actually go to the compressor, since the compressor is different between SOHC and DOHC KAs. They both use the same evap and drier, so if your line going from drier to firewall is messed up, then a DOHC should fir it.

What the best way to discharge the refrigerant from the line? I know is illegal but it get hot out here. At lease for me.

A screwdriver tip to the inlet. push down that pin in the center. or a sawzall to the line will do it.
