It's in the thread you started titled weather change a/c mod ?? See post #11.

I used vacuum line connectors with an ID size that would slip over rhe stock vac line and accept the tee.

Try this, it's what SpringerPop recommends for the ESOF lines. It may work better for you.

You should be able to find vacuum connectors. They are about an inch long rubber sleeve that fit over the vac lines and the Inside Diameter will be large enough for the tee to fit in. I had the same problem and had to use a hair dryer to heat the vac line and also trim the tee to make it fit. Then I found the vac line connectors.
