radiator hose differences ac or non ac?
dumb question but I just deleted my ac from my 74 permanently as it is a cruiser/non original fun car. anyway I am getting ready to order a new seal kit for the radiator/rad support & hood area and also wanted to buy new upper & lower rad hose's. they list upper & lower hose's for 74's with ac or without ac...what the difference are they formed or bent different and should I stay with the type I had in the car when it had AC or go to the non-ac hose version?

I guess one is factory replacement, one is generic and not sure of the other one, but the bends look different?

The hose selection is based on the radiator that you have. A/C cars got different radiators.
Did you also change the radiator in your car? No? Then buy the hoses for an A/C car (which is what you still have...but without the A/C).
