What is reasonable and fair price for me to sell complete dealer installed AC. Inside under dash, lines, condensor, compressor.....everything.

I run an automotive AC specialist shop.

What I use is "reduced" barrier hoses.
These are smaller outer diameter than normal barrier hose, are more flexible during installation and always fit through the original holes in the body. A normal barrier hose can be larger outer diameter than the original non-barrier hose and are very difficult to bend in as tight a radius as the original hose was installed.

I usually buy my hose and fittings from
https://coldhose.com

I prefer steel fittings most of the time.

The only thing I will keep on my 75 is the evap set up inside. That will work fine.
I will keep my cars on R12 as well.
R134 can work as well as R12 but it requires higher high side pressures, and this is a greater load on the compressor and engine.
A R134 conversion requires a high side pressure cut off that does not exist in the original systems. Add a high side switch for any 134 work.
