I have an earlier style (non-corvette) type AC accumulator. Since the the system was at atmospheric pressure (open) when I got the car, I'm considering replacing this component in an effort to get the AC in proper working order. Is it possible to update the car to the newer style accumulator? I imagine I'd have to get one of John Hervey's longer spliced line hoses, which is ok because I'm considering replacing the lines anyway (if they prove to have leaks, otherwise the cheaper solution is to just replace the old style accumulator) But what about the high pressure switch and relief valve hub assembly I see on the later VINs? There's a port on the later accumulator for the high pressure switch, but where would the wiring go? (As far as I know I only have wiring for a low pressure switch) Also, how robust are the evaporator and condenser coils in our cars? Should I be worried about replacing them as well or are the hoses and gunk build-up on the coils a bigger issue?
