i searched but couldnt find anything about this. ive read that in order to do an r134a conversion, i'd have to replace the o-rings and seals in my ac system, but which seals and o-rings is it referring to? im in the process of putting the ac lines and condensor together, and noticed o-rings where the lines connect to the condensor and compressor, are these the o-rings that need to be replaced? if anyone knows the answer to this i'd really appreciate it. thanks!

You would need to replace all the o-rings with the correct green o-rings. The refrigerant will eat through a standard o-ring.

right, i know that. but exactly which o-rings are you referring to? are they the ones in the condensor, or the ones where the lines connect to the condensor/compressor, or the ones where the lines connect to each other?

also, are these green o-rings vehicle specific? where could i get some?

thanks for the help
