You will need the R134a fittings for the York compressor to attach the hoses (14.99 each from Nostalgia Air, or look on ebay).

Then you just need to have the system evacuated to get all the old moisture and particles out and then recharged. A new dryer is highly recommended and also you should replace all the old O'rings in the hoses to the green O'rings for R134a. I think that's it.

What buck said. When I did the Bronco I got the fittings, evac'd the system and charged it. It still blows ice cold today.
