You can create a fitting to makeup the distance between the old style to. New, otherwise go back and get the hose.

If you are going to do it, do it all at once. Every time you open up your system you re- contaminate it. I wish you were closer because I have everything you could ever need to do it right the first time. Spring for the nitrogen tank, keep in mind you can start filling your tires up with it as well

The regulator and misc stuff can be had on fleabay.

So says the guy with really cold a/c.
