RIGHT-HAND DRIVE - 4.0L ENGINE
The suction and discharge lines for this model are
individual components and are secured to a manifold
block on the compressor with block fittings (Fig. 4).
There is also a jumper line installed between the dis-
charge line and the condenser inlet that is secured
with refrigerant line couplers at each end. Each of
these components is available as a separate service
part.
The suction and discharge line components can be
removed from or installed on the vehicle individually,
