I'm told by the pre-owner of the GSL I just got that the alt belt broke several months ago & slapped a hole in the AC hose. Question: What would you all replace with the hose assy., is there gaskets, "o" rings, etc? I want to go with R134, too.
BTW, anybody got a good hose? (No clever replys from the 'real men' on the forum

Which year, I may have a replacement. PM your email addy over and I'll email a picture of the set up I have for the parts if you're interested.

An alternator belt is not going to put a hole in an AC line. Make sure that whatever caused the hole is gone. The A?C belt is really in a bad position even to try and reach the A/C line in any way. The A/C is aft of the alt belts plane of rotation.

Now I'm wondering which hose mwpayne is talking about. The one that goes to the front of the car or the one that goes to the firewall. I the setup I have, the hoses run into one mount on the A/C compressor. On the last A/C that I had from the same year, they were two seperate connectoins. Which version do you have? I'll be able to send over the picks of mine tomorrow afternoon.

I had mine made by Truck and Industrial here locally...

The little o rings can be had at big river rubber and gasket, but that doesnt help you much.
The difference in freon is no more than it expands and contracts diffrent. I think you use 80% r134a of the r12 capacity

It looks like a complete assembly to me, hose goes from condenser in front to a metal fitting on compressor (that's the one with the hole), then from the metal connector along the firewall. I assumed it was all one unit. Thanks for the help!

Ok, here is a picture of my setup. Let me know if that is the way your's looks like and I'll get it torn off for you.
