1969 Charger RT Resto

Looking at this pic, you will see near the battery, that the discharge hose off the compressor is one piece (steel-rubber-steel)

In your hose there is a removable joint where you can separate the steel part from the rubber...effectively making it a 2 piece hose....

Ok gotcha. Simple answer is that is the way it was. When I started the resto, there were changes to the AC lines where they had been "amended" over the course of the cars life. My ac guy made new rubber hoses and also installed better...clamps?? Around the rubber hose? The clamps that were on there were not a good design as he said. They were prone to leak freon. Clamps is the wrong word. The metal piece that is crimped to hold the hose on. My old crimps sucked and this is a better design.
Let me know what else you see that is wrong. I want to put everything back correct. I see where my ac line is painted black and should be silver. The line from the compressor going over towards the passenger side of the engine compartment.
