Bill,

Was the replacement condenser AC Delco or did you go with another aftermarket brand?

Thanks,
Tim

Negative, it was the ACDelco Professional 15-63889.

Thanks Bill!

Did you put the PAG oil directly into the condenser or did you vacuum it in?

I just poured it inside the new condenser before installing, it doesn't need much, maybe around 2-3 ounces.

Bill, thanks for the response. I ended up putting 2 oz the condenser.

If you don't mind, I have tried to look up the torque specs for the tightening of the AC lines to the condenser but be darned if I can find anything specific.
From what I can figure out it is between 19-24 lbs. Did you use a specific torque or hand tighten to snug?

With the AC lines I tightened them to the point where I was confident there wouldn't be any leaks between them and the condenser. If I had to convert that into torque specs I would say around 50ft/Ibs.
