New A/C Compressor Lines for 6.9IDI

Call me crazy, but I am almost done getiing my old 1988 460 swapped out with a low miles 1986 6.9IDI. The biggest outstanding hurdle is getting the A/C compressor hooked up. The old 460 hoses haave a different connector and not quite the same orientation. My question is where can I get new hoses? Is there an off the shelf item, a DIY kit out there that is fairly universal, or should I take it to an A/C shop? Parker Store? The old system I vaced out and converted it to 134A and will do it again with the new system.

All the parts are available new, remember you will need the diesel ac condenser. Did you swap the diesel radiator and core support into the truck?

No, unfortunately not. I didnt get any of the A/C or radiator parts with the 6.9. Just re-using the gasser one. That is a lot of parts, but I'm glad they are available! Thanks for the part numbers!

Without the diesel condenser only the suction hose will work for you. The discharge and the liquid line will need to be custom made.
