Question for AC gurus...

My compressor has a #10 suction line (5/8) #24610 and a #8 discharge (GM 1/2 dual) #24608.

Does the "Dual" just mean that the size is the same from "GM" to metric?

It's a Sanden "FK" head with the R12 ports built into the head.

This AC hose stuff has me confused and any enlightenment would be welcome!

I'm planning on using this condenser:

The inlet is #8 (Which matches the discharge from the compressor) but the drier outlet is a #6. I'll have to do a #6 to flare for the TXV , and then a flare to #10 for the suction side of the compressor. The hose sizes/fittings have me a little confused.
