[urq] Coupe GT air conditioner component compatibility

[Ben Howell]

hmmmmmmm.....interesting indeed. ETKA aside, my experience came from pulling an evaporator out of a 4kq and saving it to install in an Urq. Years later, went to install in the Urq and (as mentioned in my original post) one of the lines made a gentle hook to the right side of the car and nowhere near where I needed it to mate up with the Urq line.
