Couldn't find any old or NOS lines for an A/C car. I had to custom make my lines. First, I had to install the compressor bracket with the oil filter mounted to it to the engine (compressor off the bracket, much easier that way). Got about 6 feet of tube, cut in half. Then got new fittings, flared one end and installed fittings on the tube. Installed the one end each in the block and bent the tubes to fit, lastly screwing the other ends into the oil cannister. Took some time but it worked.
