Yeah. Both of the hoses that hook up to the back of the compressor had issues with the rubber sections. On the passenger side of the engine, two sections had been "repaired" before by grinding off the crimps and then hose-clamping new high-pressure hose to the metal fittings.

I just decided to replace them all with the new compressor and all new o-rings. Recharged with R12 and it's blowing cold and quiet again. If this A/C system goes south again, I'm going to cry.
