I am finally repairing the A/C on my 69 Cutlass. Replacing all parts with new...condenser, evaporator, compressor, exp valve, etc. I'm having the hoses fabricated from the originals at a local A/C shop.

The QUESTION is this:

One of the hoses that connects to the compressor (can't remember if it's suction or discharge) has a large can inline; it's insulated and about the size of a coke can. I believe it's a muffler. What would be the effects, if any, of eliminating this can when I have the hose made?

Thanks,
