Just install new Sanden A/C compressor. Oil lines are in the way

[emi325i]

Installing the compressor was trivial, but the one of the oil cooler lines is blocking the ports on the compressor. I need some kind of fittings to go around them, or perhaps an angle fitting on the oil cooler line to move it out of the way. The fittings on the ac/ hoses are also angled in the wrong direction now. which makes it even more difficult to get them lined up with the ports on the compressor.

What's the best approach to this issue?

Also, I found some pieces of metal, small plate looking things, in the hi pressure fitting. looks as if they came out of the compressor. I'll try to post a picture. The compressor was making grinding noises (the reason for the swap), so i assume they came out of it.

I found 3 of these small pieces of metal stuck in one of the fittings. The look as if they broke off from the compressor.

I guess those images don't work

I am getting ready to do my A/C. You probably already know this but I'll say it anyway. Make sure you clean out everyother part in the AC (lines, condensor and such) There may still be metal parts going through your system from the old compressor failure. It any of that old debris goes into your new A/c compressor it will take it out.

Can you tell me a little about the Sanden kit you bought?

Retailer? Part number? Come with brackets, etc? The Sanden site blows, so looking for BMW specific info. TIA
