92 ford explorer 4.0L. Compresser was replaced few years back but now the rest of the system is leaking. how important is it that the evaporator,condensor, and accumliator are the exact ones that the factory put in? would it be ok if i picked up a roll of 3/8 inch copper tubing, then went to the junk yard and found something close to the same size of what was in there, and soldered them right in there. i'm sure i hafe a swedge die block etc around here somewhere. am i retarded for even thinking this. any input would be appreciated.
