Default A.C. Schrader Valves

1996 Ram 1500
Does anyone know if the Schrader Valves in the A.C. system are a standard size or something special.
Mine are leaking, both High and low pressure sides and need to be changed.
I found this Four Seasons kit on RockAuto, but would like to buy locally if possible.

Yes you are correct, in fact one of the local stores actually has one of the kits in stock.
My question is are they a special size ?

I think they are specific to the refrigerant they are designed to be used with.

In my experience, Rockauto is reliable with knowing what parts are going to work for vehicle. Do they give options for different kits? Is the part store able to pull up any part number for you to compare?
