AC lines near coolant reservoir

[DavidT]

As I was replacing the reservoir, I noticed the AC lines that are in the way of getting to the large coolant hose (that attaches to the bottom of the reservoir) are not secured down. Everything above THAT large coolant hose is easily movable. Is this right?
My main concern is that I had a new AC compressor/clutch assy. installed a year ago at Carmax. NEVER trust 'em!

I'll check when I get home... I took the slow T-bird today...

Ok... from what I can see, the lines and the accumulator/drier are locked in place by a clamp that is tightened around the drier assembly, that is clamp is bolted to the car in two places; one under the reservoir and one near the large lower coolant hose (the one you were talking about)...

I think the High Pressure Service Gauge Port Valve is sticking straight up between all the hoses next to the reservoir... Well that is held in place by one 8mm bolt and a small bracket that is located just in front of the compressor... I would send a pic, but I am not that well versed in this stuff yet... Hope this helps...
