Kevin,
Was you car together? How did you get the A/C compressor off? You might
want to write an article up on that. When I did mine, the car was in
pieces so it wasn't a problem. But now it looks like a real pain in the
A$$ to do. These are the kinds of how to articles we need for the
magazine.

I paid about $12 US for the hose for my car. That was about 6 yrs ago.
Rick (HTC) may be able to chime in here and give you some more info. on
the prices in Canada.
I think, I didn't go out to my car and look at the hoses, but isn't the
3rd hose, is just plain hose - something like fuel hose, or does it have
fittings on both end?.
I show that I only purchased 1 hose for my car, the pressure hose.
