Ac hoses

Does anyone know of an ac shop in the Bucks or Montgomery or Phila County areas that make up ac hoses?
I've got a 68 BB w/ factory AC.
I'm using a modern Sandeen style compressor with the orig. condensor/evap.
R-12 is the plan.
I'd like to do away with the 6 separate barded fittings and go with 3 lines crimped to length.
Also do I have to have an ac muffler coming off the compressor?
Thanks in advance

The muffler is not needed with the Sanden.

FWIW: my NAPA guy can make these. Worth checking.

did you call any a/c shops and ask if they can do it??/ Also, ask other corvette owners if they know of anyone. Call corvette clubs and ask their members who they use.
