Everywhere a line connects to a major component will have an o-ring. Additionally, you'll need some very small o-rings if you decide to replace the expansion valve inside the evaporator. I decided to go this route when I installed my A/C, figuring that it would never be easier to replace the valve than when I had the evaporator unit sitting on my work bench.

Don't forget to give each o-ring a coating of ester oil before installation!

i believe the harness is the same cuz they just changed the freon, compressor,drier,evap. technically not wiring

so wiring should be the same
