Pep Boys found my A/C problem. Now what? 700

The folks at Pep Boys checked my 1989 740GL's a/c system today, and told me that I need a new high side line that runs between the compressor and the evaporator, a new Rec. filter, and a new drier. Couple of questions:

I need to convert to R134. Does the volvo refit kit come with any of the items listed above?

Isn't the rec. filter in the drier?

My local volvo dealer was insistent that volvo never made a refit kit, and told me to go buy one at NAPA after they ordered me a new high side comp-evap line. They quoted me a price of $140 for the line. I know volvo made a kit, so they're just plain wrong on that one, but $140 for a pipe? Is it possible to get that cheaper? Is there someone online I can order it from?

Also, the line Pep Boys is referring to - which one on my compressor are they talking about?

I know that's alot of questions, and I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks.
