Kind sir, please tell me how you know this? Not trying to be a smart ass, i really want to know. with your trained eye, how can i be schooled on how to spot a replaced evaporator? with this training i can negotiate a better deal on the next project.

thanks

When the A/C lines are installed originally, they have these plastic clips on them. I don't see the clips in your pictures, which usually means the evaporator has been replaced.

Car looks sweet BTW!!
