Default A/C Compressor rebuild with o-ring kit

Has anybody used a o-ring kit to rebuild/reseal their A/C compressor model# 10P15C. O'Rielly auto parts sells a kit item #24055 for $30.99. I was just trying to get some advice and second opinions. My A/C has a leak and I can't find it. The UV die injection was not showing me anything when I used the black light.

Any tips on how to get the A/C working good. My car is a 93 and originally equipped with r-12. I've done the retrofit to r-134 .

If you can't see the dye anywhere along the a/c system, it could be inside the box under the dash. The evaporator coil in there could be the source of the leak.

I did the retrofit on mine a few years ago with no problems. I flushed the lines, compressor and condensor, changed the dryer, and put PAG oil in for lubrication. Then I pulled a vacuum on the system for about an hour, then closed it off to see if it would hold. Once I was sure it didn't leak, I started charging the system. Since then, it's been flawless, and it gets chilly in the car pretty quick.

Did you buy th drier with the hose and manifold assembly or just buy the drier (If so how did you reconnect the new drier the old a/c line)?
