AC System Design

[ghetdjc320]

So I’m designing all new AC hoses and lines for my engine swap. Any thoughts on the ideal location for the high and low side service ports? I was liking the idea of installing them near the expansion valve to make them easy to access but not sure if that is an ideal location for taking readings. My ac compressor is a low mount block hugger setup so although I could technically put the fitting by the compressor, they will be tough to access. I mounted my dryer on a bracket near the battery. for my evaporator core, I’m using a newer plate a fin style along with the 91-92 MJ expansion valve for R134.
