Aromatic Compressor hose and filter housing
AIRMATIC!! damn you, autocorrect.
I swapped out my compressor today and noticed the filter housing and the rubber lines themselves going from the filter to the compressor are starting to dry out.
1. Does anyone know the part number to the filter housing (#2 in the photo)?
2. Does anyone know the part number to the rubber hose?
I realize this isn't exactly our car and the pump is on the wrong side. The hoses and housing should be the same though.

Diggin up ancient history. My hose was brittle and I ordered a new one for $7.50.
Just curious, can anybody tell me what function this hose serves?

If the hose is cracked or broken, then dirty air can/will bypass the air filter and enter the air intake of the compressor causing excess wear to the vanes in the pump.
