A/C hose information please

angelobMember

I am trying to upgrade my A/C system with new compressor, dryer, receiver, TXvalve and all new hoses and fittings. The hoses on my car have evidently been replaced before but they are still old style non barrier. What I have are:

1) Compressor to Condenser - 7 feet of #8 (13/32")
2) Condenser to receiver - 16" of #6 (5/16")
3) Receiver to TXvalve - 14.5 feet of #6 (5/16")
4) Evap out to Compressor - 10 feet of #8 (13/32")

I was planning on rerouting the hoses outside of the engine bay along with the receiver. I am told I should have a #10 (1/2") hose from the compressor to the condenser instead of a #8. I'm changing to a Sanden compressor so one of the hose fittings is wrong (compressor is larger)

Aside from making the #2 Condenser to receiver hose longer, are these the correct sizes and lengths for what I plan on doing?

Thanks,
Angelo
