In order to re-assemble the air conditioning, the hoses from the compressor had to be re-fitted and relocated, because the compressor is on the opposite side of the diesel engine. The compressor connector ends were taken to a local a/c shop where they were welded and crimped with new hose (see picture). Extra hose was used so they are long enough to later be reconnected to the a/c condenser and a/c evaporator. The original condenser and evaporator can be reused by re-fitting the lines. The receiver/dryer will be replaced before the system is recharged after installation is complete.
