FD A/C Fittings MANA vs Denso Chart

Request A/C guru's assistance.

I just finished sorting my A/C line inventory and trying to make an accurate line fitting chart....see sketch pic.
Please advise any edits.

You might want to reach out to Halfspec, as he had been working with AC systems and making custom lines. You can find his post for V8s on the other forum. I can PM you the thread if you like.

The only info on the thread that is pertinent is the evap threads, which are correct.
Also to note, the Denso should be similar to AN threads/sizes as an FYI.

I'm looking into re-installing AC with the RX8 condensor, so if you have any info on the block fittings on the Compressoor that would help, unsure if they are even sold.
The RX8 condensor has a built in dryer, which is attractive to me for reducing lines and packaging, but both in and outs on the condensor are also block fittings from the pictures I see. I have a MANA system, so the dryer is NLA for my case.

Thanks
1. I will touch base with HALFSPEC.
2. Yes, my Denso understanding is same....combination of AN and metric fittings.
3. Sorry, I have no RX8 info.

HALFSPEC confirmed that the chart is correct for the evaporator fittings.

Does anyone have first-hand knowledge of the condenser fittings?

First chance we get to measure an RX8 condenser will add specs to the chart.

i can confirm the outlet of the condenser (smaller fitting) is 9/16-18 for the DENSO (matching your drawing).

a 6an tube nut fits it.
