Do I need to flush the AC lines before installing this condenser?

Yes. Any time you replace a condenser, flush the system to remove debris and old refrigerant oil. Don't skip this step—contamination will kill the new unit fast.

What mounting hardware do I need?

This assembly uses factory mounting points. You'll need basic hand tools to disconnect the old lines and refrigerant lines—the condenser itself bolts to OEM locations without additional fasteners.

Will I need to recharge the system after install?

Yes. Once you've installed the condenser and reconnected all lines, the system must be evacuated and recharged with the correct refrigerant and oil volume. This requires an AC recovery machine—have a shop handle it if you don't have the equipment.
