I had that same problem with the old condenser it was corroded and wouldn't budge. The ackits 10.5”x27” is a good fit other than it’s not a drop in so some modifying has to be done. I was looking at those Jeep Air fittings also I think my valves are still a little leaky.

It’s that time of year again I decided to dig up the old thread and finish what I started.

Tube-O Suction & Discharge Fittings with R-134a Ports TO1610
I removed the old compressor drained as much oil as I could and measured it. The standard for a compressor replacement is oil drained plus 1oz. I removed about 1oz from the old compressor so I added 2oz to the suction side of the new one. After adding the oil I turned over the compressor 10 times to get everything lubricated. Next I Installed the new fittings pulled a vacuum and refilled as before. Everything is working great I ended up with the same results. The jeepair fittings are amazing I would recommend them to anyone doing an r134a conversion or upgrades and Rockauto has a good deal on the compressor right now 132.56 shipped.
I blocked the radiator too much with the condenser and had to upgrade the fans.
