Separating condenser hose from evaporator?
3.0L uses a direct bolt onto rocker cover configuration
Here is Farrar’s
3.0L engine swap

Also the hose end fittings from DPI are 90 deg elbows so you wouldn’t need to space it up aa high as Farrar’s is.

DPI hoses
My compressor uses Vertical port configuration instead of the Original horizontal configuration. I liked it better that way.

I'll try the heat-and-cold trick tomorrow. I could try oxyacetylene, but that's a bit overkill here. Although I am wondering if the ability to get a more focused flame would be outweighed by the much greater heat. I'm guessing I stick to MAP. That and I don't want to actually melt the aluminum, which I'd probably do with oxyacetylene.

Yeah, we’re only talking 200-300 degrees. Aluminum expands quickly and you cook some of the corrosion too. But it can also melt the orifice tube. The trick is to heat it quickly, get them apart and quench the fittings right away with wet rags.
Acetylene is fine, you just feather the flame at a distance or use a small welding tip.
If you go to the beginning of Farrar’s 3.0L thread there are more pictures and details about the A/C compressor including the QD head swap that was done.
