Ok, need help

I posted this over in the Cooling section with no replies. So I have to convert to r134 from r12 in my 1993, superduty. What pieces parts do I need or should I replace...and from what year, I want this to be as painless as possible so I don't want to replace the pump...I was thinking just the lines condenser, orifice tube and dryer... I read that I could use 1994 stuff but I think I would have to get custom hoses and fittings???? so confusing

When I switched I just replaced the orifice tube and dryer.

YMMV.

You can get a conversion kit (by application) at an auto parts store. Fittings are different between the two. Youll want to replace the drier/filter, and have the system evacuated.

Make sure you put in a oil charge or get 134 with oil in it.

Accumulator is recommended too
