What about R-12 and R-134a connections being different?

I will be doing mine with my build. I just sourced some 92-93 ac lines which brings it up the battery box.. dont really need anything else. I actually received the lines in the mail today..
When I get to this point in my build, I will post up pictures..
FloridaFJ80, our paths keep crossing!!! Seem like we have similar tastes.
Let me know if your upper connection, near the under hood relay box is the same size connection. Mine appears to be different size, but I have not taken it apart yet.
Cheers,
What I was doing at my former workplace was to cut the ends off at the condenser inlet and the fenderwell connection and splice the R134a fittings onto the R12 lines. I'm not aware of any adapters that will allow you to convert from one size to the other. At one time, I was able to buy fittings for the condenser and drier ends but the company making them went under. If you can procure a set of R12 lines (1991-early 1993), it's pretty straightforward to cut and braze.
If a person goes with the cut and splice method, what is the advantage to using the old lines and condenser? Wouldn't it be as simple to cut the lines that run to the condenser, and up top where they head down, and splice in a section that bends to where you want it? It made sense when you were working to sell a "kit" that was bolt in, so you could sell something that had the factory bends in it. If a person (or shop) is fabbing it up on the spot, I don't see the advantage of mixing the R12 and R134a systems.What I was doing at my former workplace was to cut the ends off at the condenser inlet and the fenderwell connection and splice the R134a fittings onto the R12 lines.
