Hello. I've been an NCRS member for some time, but am new to this site. So, I thought I'd make my first post with a restoration question. Hopefully I can get some great advice.
I have a '68 327/300 matching number two-top convertible with A/C. I am 85% complete with a body-off restoration. Mostly what's left are ancillary details. My question is about the AC system. It had been removed form the car when I bought it so I have nothing to compare to... I don't really like the clamp-style AC hoses used for '68. My understanding is that it's hard to keep the freon charge. I don't want to kill the originality of the car, but is there an easy way I can use later style (e.g. '69) crimped hoses? As far as I can tell, I would need a different condenser inlet line to do this. Or is that a bad idea? At any rate, I also need the hard line from the bottom of the condenser to the accumulator/drier. Any ideas where to get this from?
