Hello all.

I have a 1996 Grand Prix with 3.4L DOHC Engine.

My A/C is not working, and I am missing a part in my AC System.
Can anybody tell me what connects to the left end of these Hoses?

Whatever it is, is not in my car lol.

Im guessing its the evaporator core, which looks like it has the same plugs that could fit in the end of the hoses.

Thanks in advance anyone.
 


One is the condensor (radiator looking thing in your pic). The other to a tube that leads to the orifice tube and to the evap core (in the heater box of the car) .

The radiator looking thing in my pic is the evap core. The Condenser looks very similar though lol, what my car is missing is what's plugged into the left side of the hose picture. So if i understand correctly that's the Condenser? It's in the front of the car so Im guessing thats not the heater box.

Also, since its been left hanging open, after I install a new condenser, I will need to bleed the system of air correct?

You have to pull a vacuum on the system there is no way to bleed it.
