The system should be flushed and regardless a new receiver/drier will be needed. A new style condenser for the 134A is often recommended too. Mike

I used a VA kit in my 65 Belvedere. Not shown are the 4 under dash VA defroster outlets I chose for lap cooling. I split the evaporator outlets with wyes to duct air to a pair of outlets on each side of the car. I also had to use the 3 duct model because my trans tunnel was too large to...

Are your photos of VA products? The VA and CAA universal kits/component systems use in dash outlets to achieve a OEM look. Mike

I used a Jegs model. Mike

Since the compressor reduces the volume of the gas it can be transported in a smaller line than the suction side. Did you forget Boyle's Law from school? Mike

High side is compressed gas/condensed liquid. Low side is suction after X-valve thru evaporator coil to compressor inlet. Do some research on this conversion, I removed the EPR valve from the compressor and added a thermostat to control the compressor clutch. It must be cycled to control...

Do you have a service manual for the car? If not you should own one. It will come in handy for your service. Mike

Any time the receiver/drier is exposed to the atmosphere it will absorb water (doing its job) so, replacement is needed. They can only hold so much moisture. Water will freeze and stop refrigerant flow when inside the system. Mike

I purchased a stat online similar to this model: Thermostat Ranco With 24" Cap Tube I wrapped the capillary tube around the suction line in the engine compartment and insulated it. Mike

If you can rebuild a lawn mower engine you can do the RV2. Mike

Would a panel attached to the bottom edge of the dash be acceptable? Like adding a oil/temp combo. Save the cables with the OEM heater box. You are making good progress. Mike

Grommets can be cut and reglued during installation in the hole. A little weatherstrip adhesive will do the trick. Mike

The drier is after the condenser so you are dealing with a liquid which can't be compressed, therefore the pressure sensor will do its job anywhere in that line up to the expansion valve. Just add a tee. Mike

Please excuse me for commenting answers here but, I do know some answers. Mike

I'm not a fan of the worm screw hose clamps, they do lose clamping pressure with time, although spring loaded worm clamps are available. I like the molded hose for routing to your requirements. I used Dodge Dakota hoses at the engine connections on my setup. Mike

Yes. Universal: https://www.vintageair.com/custom/product-pop.php?pn=68000-VUZ-A Because of the trans tunnel I had to swap from the 4 A/C outlets to the 3. It has less capacity but the cabin in my 65 is not very big either. Mike
