Evaporator (Expansion Valve) to Filter/Drier
This part is not easily available. I had it made (Macs Radiator is local), but according to my local Jeep dealer it can be ordered from them. Jeep dealer told me part number 4773305 for around $75... but i dont know if this is the right part; again I had it made.

Jeep Dealer Possible Part Number: 4773305
MAC's Radiator Part Number: TBD



4773305 is the hose from the drier to the condenser

Yes, it is not needed, just rip the guts out of the fitting, reuse the fitting. There are two of them as I recall, second one is on the condenser. They were part of the OEM factory, pre-charged R-12 install package, not a needed, working part, just an artifact of the way they installed pre-charged systems back in the day.

I know this is an old post but couldn't find any other information on the fittings at the drier, mine has two fittings together and both have internal springy thingies, one just fell out and the other one had two O rings but the O ring at the end was bad. Can the internals of both fittings be taken out?

Thanks

Yes, take them out and discard.

I did this to 3 Renix era jeeps ages ago. They still blow cold air.
