I'm looking to buy an upper radiator hose. The listings have with or without A/C. Is there a length difference there? I don't have A/C system installed but will in the future.

Most A/C upper hoses are longer, have 1 or 2 more curves and end up on either side of the radiator.
Non A/C-hoses are usually hoses with a fairly simple 90 bend ending up near the center of the radiator.

The with AC hose is shaped to clear the compressor.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

often the with A/C version is 1 hose size larger at the radiator end.
