Have put the finishing touches on the A/C repair job over the weekend by adding 1/2" split loom over the high-side tubing. The photo below is presented to keep it brief.
Also added loom to the A/C wiring on and around the compressor in the lower front of engine compartment. I'd say that CarQuest loom is better than NAPA brand, but either will do the job.
This job is a wrap!!
