1) IF there is some sort of plumbers-type connection that i could slip over the line - like an a/c hose that i can clamp over it, i could maybe mount the accumulator at a slightly different location and just run a hose to it. or -
2) i have to replace the line from the evaporator to the accumulator - which appears to be no small feat for access. yesterday my son and i took the entire dash system apart and still could not get to where i could change that line - and going that far i would likely want to replace the evaporator as well due to its age, right? so how the heck do you change it out? i imagine a garage is going to really be expensive for that.....3) is there some sort of "accessory" evaporator and fan i can mount somewhere else and bypass the old one and just leave it where it is?????
i like option no. 1 the best - i am hoping an ac guy could make up a custom hose to fit ....
looking forward to thoughts...
