Do I need to evacuate the system before installing this condenser?

Yes. Your AC system must be properly evacuated and recharged by a certified technician before and after installation. This is a refrigerant system component — never attempt a DIY install without recovery equipment and EPA certification.

Does this come with new O-rings and fittings?

The condenser assembly ships as shown. Verify all connection points and seals before installation. Most shops replace O-rings and inspect fittings as part of the service procedure to prevent leaks.

What if my AC lines don't align perfectly during install?

Mount the condenser at the factory points first, then test-fit all connections. Minor adjustments are normal. If lines require force to connect, stop and have a tech inspect — forcing connections can damage seals and cause system failure.
