Need Help with Interchiller Install

Been searching and digging and reading…
Wondering if I’m missing an assembly that looks like this. Can anyone confirm that should be part of the kit?

I definitely have that piece on mine, as well as a hard line that ties into the a/c line up near the brake booster and runs down near the radiator, where it joins to a flexible hose.

I'll try and get some pictures for you in the next couple of days....

That's the high pressure line of the AC. For my Killer chiller I tapped into that line with a T fitting. I replaced the one in the pic with a simple barbed fitting from O'Reillys. I dont remember the exact size but if you measure the inner diameter of that AC line that will tell you what size you need. It's like $7.

You also mentioned getting a reservoir. I would absolutely get one if I were you. Under hood tanks work best for chillers.

Thanks for that pic. I finally have pieced together how this chiller gets plumbed. Those barbed fittings are interesting. Did you have to buy a special crimping tool to band clamp that down? Has it held nicely without leaking?

Where did you pick up that brass T fitting?

To crimp it all you need is a set of concrete nippers from Harbor Freight ($9).

No the brass fitting in the pic did not hold up. It leaked from where the male and female ends came together. That's the part I replaced with a simple barbed t fitting from the parts store. I just used worm clamps and it's been great.
