New adaptor to keep A/C

For my LT1 swap to keep A/C I ended up hacking a stock Corvette A/C line at a hydraulic shop but it looked like crapola and I figured there must be a better way..

Here is something a bit new

http://www.hotrodair.com/gmadaptor.htm

a nice adaptor that allows a screw in line to run into our compressors.. I talked to a tech, he knew the right connectors right off the bat, measured up the length that I needed and the hoses and fittings were sent already crimped and sized for the application with the adaptor..

not sure if I am late on this boat (probably) just thought I would post this, I could of used it a while back. I'll let you all know how it fits up when it arrives.

Bit of a thread hijack don't you think? Since I am nice I will attempt to help however.

depends on how much money you want to spend, the company I mentioned above has one http://www.hotrodair.com/serpentine.htm street and performance can hook you up, so can march etc.. how much money do you want to spend? If that is a big factor just call up hawks or another used parts dealer and get the whole system from another thirdgen car for cheap.
