Hi, Thanks again for the suggestions. I will keep them in mind if my current effort does not succeed. Since I needed the evaporator and expansion valve I decided to try a kit sold by Auto Cooling Solutions that includes those and replacement high and low pressure lines that are flexible hoses rather than the fixed lines. Hope I won't regret my decision. What I purchased is
CRK-RK2565-S
Complete Rear A/C Kit.
I have not received it yet so can post once I do and see if it works.
