Thanks for the pics. I guess that the SAE # has nothing to do with sealing washer size, because my old compressor was also a Delphi with the same port sizes as the one you posted. I misstated the brand of the old compressor in my first post, I thought that it was Behr.

Fortunately, it looks like I found the washer that I need. The O'reilly's near me has a good store manager, and he opened up some kits for me and found a black washer with the same inner and outer diameter as the red washer but thinner. The black washer fits into both ports. I'm waiting on a new drier, so I'm hoping to have everything sealed up by the end of next week and get a leak test in mid March.
How did the R4 work out? I see in your first post you bought a shaft seal kit. Did you take apart the R4 and do a full re-seal? It is not hard if you have the tool to press out the casing. I made a tool out of an old R4 in a couple of hours and tested it- Looks 3rd world but works great! I plan on re-sealing the R4 in my 85 300D, renew all o-rings on the fittings, flush system, replace TXV and dryer, pressure test and refill with R12. I have a full 30 lb jug of R12 sitting around waiting to be put to use. I currently is testing R152a DustOff and it is cooling great. I will continue testing the R152a well into Aug- Sept when it will be much hotter and then go back to R12 in Sept when it is still hot. Meanwhile have to gather/order parts.

Couple of good videos on R4 resealing:
