Initially , I was going to use the original evaporator with new compressor, condenser and dryer for r134. I bought a hose kit that had flare fittings on one end for the evaporator and o ring fittings for the new parts. The 2 hoses that are hidden in the fender cavity had to be longer than stock. Later since I had removed the dash anyway, I decided to replace the evaporator with a new aluminum one. It came with a new POA valve that uses o ring fittings. Having the dash out made this pretty easy. I also replaced all of the foam rubber pieces in the evaporator box. I had to remake the hoses for the new evaporator as they now needed o ring fittings. I bought bulk a/c hose and had new fittings crimped locally. Buying bulk hose and fittings from an a/c supply company saves money and you can dial in the length perfectly. I routed the hoses without the fittings to determine the length and then marked the hose ends and fittings exactly the way I wanted them crimped. I need to give my son credit for his help on my Pantera project and now it will be payback for his GT40 build. Hope this helps.
