A/C line tuck...

[Falcon]

Every time I look in my engine bay my attention is drawn to the A/C lines that are on the passenger side of the engine bay....and it bugs the crap out of me. Anybody ever extend those lines to be able to tuck them into the fender? Is there any reason why this wouldn't work? The extra foot or two of A/C line wouldn't cause any issues would it? Thanks for any advice/opinions.

I would be fine, may need to increase the amount of freon when charging slightly.

That's what I was thinking.....just wasn't sure if the extra freon would cause problems with the compressor or any sensors and such.

Nope none at all

 

[Falcon]

Thanks....now I just gotta figure out how exactly I'm gonna extend those lines.....

Good luck with that one! Sometimes you can cut the hose crimps to reuse the original ends, but since you want to change there routing location it will be difficult to do. Best best is to get a catalog with all the available hose ends and figure it out one by one.

Yeah, I was gonna take it to a local A/C pro to see what they think.
