      You do know your going to need an a/c machine to evac and recharge your a/c right?
      Also I believe your going to need more than 4 qts to refill the tranny. And shame on you for buying a fram oil filter lol. You seem to be replacing alot of unneeded parts. Are your wheel cylinders failing, is you fan clutch failing? I would assume you have done plugs, plug wires, dizzy cap, and air filter recently since they are not on the list? As for the a/c o rings there should be one on the inlet and the out of the compressor, also on on the inlet and outlet of the condesor, and probly one at every connection in the system.

        The trans takes close to 12 quarts if you drain the converter as well as the pan, and probably about 7 or 8 if you do just the pan.

        If you're doing wheel cylinders, you also need brake fluid. I'd buy enough to flush the whole system out, 2 quarts ought to be more than enough. Suck the black sludge out of the master cylinder, fill with fresh, then bleed the system out until you have nice clear fluid at each wheel.

        O rings for the AC are located at each connection. You will also need something to lube the O rings. Manual will tell you to use refrigerant oil, ester oil is probably what you want. Honestly I'd do a complete flush on that AC system. If the orifice tube is clogged as I suspect it is, it got that way somehow. usually the reason is a component grenaded and contaminated the system. If the tube has a bunch of black goo stuck in the screen, then you'll need to flush the BS out of all the components and most likely replace the compressor since thats usually what will have failed to put the black junk in there to begin with.

                  well today i replaced the fuel filter and the orifice tube man was the old one black and clogged. Monday we will be charging the ac system my shop has an ac system to charge it with refrigerant for free and doing more stuff. The New fuel filter made a difference there's like no more hesitation. Also found a huge oil leak on my car. My oil pressure switch shit the bed and is leaking oil all over my engine it's caked in oil. So i am going to buy a new one.

                    excellent!
                    dont forget to also pick up the special socket for the oil pressure sender, and put some teflon paste on the threads of the new sender before you install it

                      If the orifice tube was black, FLUSH THE AC SYSTEM before you charge it, or its gonna be black and clogged in about 2 minutes. Also, don't be surprised if it still clogs up. Most of the time when it has black crap, the compressor failed. Running it again will most likely just push more black crap into the system and clog it up again. If that were my car, I'd buy a brand new compressor and a new drier, and flush the hell out of the system before even trying to charge it.
