any ideas if it changed from 97+??
I went through simular issues with the S13. (Thread here)

It took me an hour to find the correct O-ring (I had a large kit) that would seal when using SOHC line on DOHC compressor. That was with the compressor and line sitting on my bench, and me blowing through the line checking for leaks.

I found very little difference in condensor's over the years, and low side lines stayed the same diameter at the condensor fitting. (EZ to strip that one) I did find that there was a huge difference in compressor fitting sizes over the years, even with the same model of car. As long as you can get the fitting into the compressor, you can eventually get it to seal if you have enough o rings (and patience).

Sorry I can't be any more help, but I know what you're up against.
