Looks like you can buy just the receiver dryer on rockauto for about $15 plus shipping.
I was looking at that but it seems as if the receiver-dryer is brazed onto the condenser and I wasn't sure how to get it off.
The image shows a threaded hole along with two non-threaded holes. Got a pic of your dryer? That would clear this up. I imagine a single bolt clamps the two lines in place, and they're sealed with an o-ring. This is fairly common for A/C components.
