I just did a motor swap on my gl carbed wagon and the ends of these arnt the same as where they are supposed to go in and i was wondering if i could just buy the end where it is crimped onto the hose or if i have to buy the whole hose to make it work and also was wondering where i could buy them?

They look like air conditioner hoses to me. And if they don't bolt on to the new motor than you might have to pull the pump off of your old motor and use that.

 

Here is the picture, sorry about the first link it was the html it wont bring you anywhere

yup They are a/c hoses look at my first reply

I thought about that and i looked at it and my old motor is a carbed motor and i am pretty sure it isnt the same pump

The compressors are different.

Well you could probably buy an new one at the dealer maybe or go searching in the junkyards? Or just don't hook it up?

You'll either need to swap the old compressor over (make sure the mounts are at least the same before you take it all apart). Or, find an AC shop and see if they can make some custom hoses.

 

Since you'll need to refill the system, and can't use R12 anymore, you'll also need to find an R134A retrofit kit to do it.

 

Or, you can just leave it all unhooked and not have AC.

Edit: If you do leave it unhooked, be sure to disconnect the wires to the compressor. If it turns on, it will fry the compressor in short order.
