68 Corvette AC Lines
So I got these special AC lines and trying to install them. Is there some trick to get them on ? I can get them on to the barbs a little ways but not far enough to get the special hose clamps on !!!!

The heat gun & lube worked !!!!!! Now I have a new question........I've found 2 ac hose routing diagrams that show the hose from the evap & refrigerant control valve routed down then up over the other hoses to the muffler for 327 engine and just straight from the evap & refrigerant to the muffler for a 427 engine. The AIM manual does not show both ways, just straight from one to the other. I have a 327....is there some reason I can't do the short route ? Either way it's going to be a task because thats the largest diameter hose !!!!
