See my condenser saga here:

TLDR version: the eBay parallel flow condenser blows ice cubes on r134a, and the seller stands behind his products.
For the lines, I'd get r134a-friendly line like the ones Griffiths sells.

Many places carry them these days, and may be a little quicker.

I'm getting ready to "fully" redo my a/c as well.
I'm sourcing my compressor, barrier hose and drier from 944Online.

I called Griffith's to see about ordering the Nippondenso kit, but they apparently no longer carry those compressors.
I just received my condenser from Cooler Classics, same as Tom mentioned above.
I actually called Cooler Classics and ordered.
Doing it that way, I saved shipping and sales tax (about $80), vs buying on Ebay.
