Well as ashamed as I am to say it; my IROC has been sitting for me for the last 6 years waiting for me to get back to drive it. After replacing a bunch of stuff I have now made it to the A/C system which I disconnected six years ago to drop in a new motor. Problem is the box with the parts are now MIA and I am unsure as what I am missing. It looks like I need the Accumulator and a double line hose that went to the compressor. So the question is what is the best way to get the air conditioner back up and running?

Attached are some pictures of what i am working with. I circled in red a line which I must have taped up six years ago and has a nut still on the line but I don't know where it goes to.

I think I need these two things:

Go to the parts store and buy em. THey don't cost very much.

The accumulator, you need anyway; it loads itself up with moisture from the air when left open, so the one you had before, is now ruined.

 

Sweet, so far as you can tell I only need those two things? Does anyone know the name of the line I am missing... The shop manual isn't great in this regard and if I need to replace anything else because it was sitting to atmosphere that would be great to know aswell.

Thanks!

 

The hose is called the "suction and discharge line" because it's a combination. You should also put in a new orifice tube because any crap in the system will be stuck there. They are very cheap.
