The suction and discharge lines for this model are
individual components and are secured to a manifold
block on the compressor with block fittings (Fig. 4).
There is also a jumper line installed between the dis-
charge line and the condenser inlet that is secured
with refrigerant line couplers at each end. Each of
these components is available as a separate service
part.
The suction and discharge line components can be
removed from or installed on the vehicle individually,
or as a unit. Otherwise, the service procedures are

the additional mounting hardware as follows:
• Suction line to manifold block nut - 9 N·m (80
in. lbs.)
• Discharge line to manifold block nut - 9 N·m (80
