Default 1970 Quick AC question

Its time to check for leaks and charge my new AC system. I installed the conversion fittings to the compressor. Just double checking with you guys to see that I got the fittings to the correct low/high sides. I put the low ( in the attached picture) on the left where the larger high side is on the right. Is this correct. The service book does not show a pic.

Thanks for your response.

are you changing over to 134?? (you have to change to the oil in the compressor to be compatable for the different freon, as well as o-rings and all other parts)

Default Ac

I have rebuilt the compressor with seals that work for both R12 and R134. The oil is compatable with both.. Every component has been replaced. The upgraded ROA is set for 134 right now during testing.

Thanks for all your replies
