Yes, I got new lines from Old Air, too. I think they were all included with this kit, but I'm sure you could get them individually if you don't need the muffler. I know Ames has some of them.

I knew nothing about A/C before I did my system. I bought a set of gauges from Harbor Freight, rented a vacuum pump from AutoZone to test the system and read/watched a bunch online. In hindsight, I think I put too much oil in the system since the compressor already contained some. Temps at the vent are around 40-45 degrees, R12 might be better but I'm happy with the temps. The new compressor hasn't shown any signs of slinging grease either.
