design of new compressors NOT the same as OE

after finally finding the time to replace every part of the AC on my Camaro .im finding that aftermarket new AC compressors are being made slightly different than OE ones .as in, where the refrigerant lines connect to the back of the compressor is made in such a way that my lines will not fit. just a heads up for anyone trying to repair their car without "modifying" things
