it wasn't me. Sorry I didn't respond to your pm yet. I've been under my truck since yesterday. Why would you want to do this though?

The other guy on here who did this, his looked really clean under the hood.

The AC lines are just stupid ridiculous, and with my AC Compressor dead, doing the swap is easy, cause I have to break the lines loose anyways.

Suckin things are always in the way.

The reason I'm asking who it was on here again, is so they will post the pictures and more so I can look again and make up my mind.

It musta been StrokeOrCroak that did it then I think.
Only a few guys on here are good with AC stuff.

I am real good with ac but I have never done that. All you would have to do is shorten the low side hose at a hose shop and I think get a onger high side hose. I think it comes out of the condenser on the left side. I can't remember. Any "good" hose shop can do this for you. I just can't see why. Whn it's in my way I just take the whole compressor of with hoses intact and lay it over the opposite fender. It reaches.
