Default LS1 Swap

I have a 1989 Chevrolet Silverado with a 5.0 TBI, I want to swap a 1999 Tahoe 5.7 Vortec into the truck. I am new to the whole swapping deal and I have a few questions. On the 5.7 Vortec the A.C compressor is on the driver side of the engine bay and the condenser is on the passenger side, how would I make the lines match up?

Do you mean the accumulator? The condenser is in front of the radiator.

CARiD, a sponsor of this forum, sells both solid and flexible A/C hoses/lines that might work for you, as far as hooking up your A/C compressor to the accumulator. Here is but one example, but there are others.
