AC hose question (Page 1/1)

Hello

I have recently purchased an 88 GT with a 3800SC motor, that has a stock V6 Fiero air compressor on it. The previous owner (RULOOKIN) mentioned that he thinks he may have installed the AC hose backwards. I have not been under the car yet- so I don't have any pics. Is it possible to install it backwards? From what I recall, the AC hose going into the compressor has very different ends on it so it is not possible to hook up the wrong ends into the compressor, is it?

thanks

Hose would only fit one way.

It is possible to cross the lines and hook up chassis connection backwards.
It would not seal, but would tighten down.
The lines should be parallel to each other, not crossed.

Maybe that is what he meant. I will crawl underneath and look. So I should make sure the lines are not crossing each other from one end to another (twisting), correct?

Affirmative.
