Once air gets inside (especially if moist), it is imperative the system is evacuated ASAP.
Otherwise, you can kiss your condenser, compressor, expansion valve and dryer tank good bye.
Example: Peeps go to a wrecking yard searching for a compressor, find one, remove the hoses from the ports, take the compressor home, fail to tape up the ports.
3 weeks later, they install the puppy and wonder why the hell the shaft will no longer turn, or the compressor growls like a enraged bear.
The compressor is HISTORY!
Do not buy any A/C parts if the ports are uncapped, or are not taped over (= as new, this is the way some parts come in packages), or are otherwise left open to the elements.

If you think 400 is expensive for a custom bell to adapt to transmissions that never were intended to be installed then you are in the wrong hobby......
BTW a TKO will set you back 2K

On a lighter note, where would the best place be to look for an A/C? aftermarket is ok, being that this is going to be a restomod truck. Im hellbent on installing it, i know its hard, i know its expensive, but im gonna do it.
