early A/C compressor fitting?

Can someone point me to a photo of the hose fittings that attach to an early style A/C compressor? And are these supposed to use a special type of o-ring?

Thanks!
Wes

IIRC ...... just a green A/C Oring lubed with compressor oil (PAG oil)

From my 1984:

Just my opinion. For years the school of thought was to lubricate A/C "O" ring and fittings with PAG oil. No big errors there. It works okay. PAG oil is hygroscopic and can attract moisture.

I have used NYLOG blue a/c and "O" ring sealant. Works great, in particular with older a/c systems.

One bottle will last a long time. Check around for pricing. About $7 to $10
