Default AC and Heater Hoses

OK - - So I pretty much know what I need for my AC lines etc. I'm going to use the Aeroquip EZ-Clip fittings and lines for my AC.

I see that Vintage Air Sells a 1/2 NPT to #10 O-ring adapter, which leads me to believe that I can use the EZ-Clip fittings and lines for my heater hoses as well. Is this correct? I can't imagine that hot engine coolant would cause any problems that R134a wouldn't, but I wanted to ask.

My other questions are that I have the VA bulkhead, which has 3 X #10 O-ring and 1 X #6 O-ring fitting. I can use the EZ-Clip stuff for all of the fittings except the heater hose connections to the VA heater valve and unit under the dash. It just has the good ole copper line to clamp a rubber hose to. What's the best way to handle this?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but this is my first go-around with the VA stuff and wondered what the best practices are.

I can certainly call Vintage Air and get their feedback, but I thought I would try Lat-G for some others' experiences/advice.

Thanks - - -
