Repairing A/C issue - at the compressor

[Joseph Dell]

It is possible to replace the AC lines coming from and going to the AC compressor w/o removing the compressor? I'm trying to avoid massive surgery to remove the supercharger head unit and all of the bracketry in order to fix my stupid AC leak...

Anyone know?

If not, I'll just keep driving the RT the way it was _meant_ to be driven... fast and w/o a top!

Thanks in advance!!!

First make sure that your problem is not the o-rings where the high pressure and low pressure go into the compressor(manifold) as this is very common,if not rest assured that you do not need to remove the comp. for either one of these lines

It's somewhat common for the hose to burst due radiated heat on modified vehicles as well. You'll also notice compressor oil start to run down from above the compressor fittings, down the hose, which is hidden behind the split tubing cover. The O-rings at the condensor will start to seep and the evaporator itself will start to deteriorate as well.

Thank you both for your help! As usual, the Florida posse' comes through!

I'm going to put the car back on the lift and take a look.

Thanks, y'all!!!
