Default A/C Hose Question: BBC vs SBC

What is the difference between the hoses that attach to the back of the compressor on a BBC vs SBC....length, maybe??

The book show 2 different part numbers...but doen't state what the difference is. I'm wanting to use SBC hoses on a BBC.

I found a place that will remake them, using my ends and fittings, and if length is the only difference then that's easily overcome by having them make them a little longer.

Anybody?? :confused:

The compressor is the same so would assume that the fittings would be the same. I would think that any difference would be hose length.
