Will this condenser work with my existing AC hoses and fittings?

Yes. This is designed as a direct replacement, so your factory hoses and line connections attach without adapters. Inspect hose condition before installing — if they're brittle or cracked, replace them while you're in there.

Do I need to pull a vacuum or recharge the system after installation?

You'll need to have the system evacuated and recharged by someone with AC equipment. This isn't a DIY step — improper charging causes compressor damage. Factor that cost into your project.

What if the new condenser doesn't fit or leaks after I install it?

Test-fit before you fully commit. If there's a leak at connection points, the line threads or O-rings may need attention. Contact support with photos if the unit doesn't seat properly — fitment issues are rare but need confirmation before a return.
