I'm trying to replace the main A/C refrigerant line. On this car it has dual climate so the hose runs from the front of the engine to the passengers front seat. Is there anyway to replace it without removing the engine? The line consist of aluminum tubing and flexible hose.

I am not sure which line would run all the way from the engine to the passenger compartment with no connection point to separate them.

Do you see the line below in these attachments?

Can you get a picture of it so that we can better identify the line you are looking at?
