The 508 is a good choice.
As long as you need new hoses and assuming that you are mechanically
inclined, consider moving the condenser to the front of the radiator. A
large efficient condenser that covers the radiator is available from Vintage
Air for not so much.
I also could not more highly recommend the new Aerorquip EZ-clip lines.
These components allow you to easily assemble the lines by yourself in the
garage. Impressive quality.
Good luck and welcome to the Forum
