Default A/C O-Ring Source

I replaced my A/C Compressor on the 2001, following RoccoC5’s procedure but I can not seem to find a source for the black o-rings, there was a total of five o-rings in (2) large and (3) small. My local Kragen and AutoZone only sell the green o-rings should I be using these instead of the black ones?

As long as the new o-rings are the correct size and are compatible with the (R-134a) refrigerant you’re good to go.

Green ones should be fine.

Do a search. Someone posted the part numbers for the o-rings a while back .

I found this posted by Quicksilver Vert 01

1997-2002 Corvette A/C dryer o-ring, inlet and outlet: P/N 52454646

I am thinking these are the smaller o-rings. Anyone have the P/N for the larger ones, it would be the size coming out of the bottom of the condenser.
