I want to be clear. I have researched this issue before my swap and all I found to make sure the AC worked and everything worked as OEM factory, you will need the lines from the firewall from a SC300. Mine is a 400. I did this. I bought all the lines from a SC300 out of a 1993. I also replaced all the orings, replaced the receiver dryer and checked all of them for cracks, improper bends, and so on. They all looked good. All of these lines went in the factory holes and locations as the 400 ones did. The reason you have to change them out is the difference on the high and low pressure flexibable lines are different. I chose this route to assure I didnt run into any problems and I took the advice from several people on here. I had to bend one of the lines a little to clear the 3 inch intercooler piping on the intake side of the motor under the car. You can see this in my pictures in my thread in signature. I dont know if you can use the stock ones or not. This is the route I chose and mine blows ice cold and works flawleesly and I am on AEM V2 standalone.

I also wanted to add that I bought a SC400 receiver dryer, NOT a 300.
