Notice how it's wet when the a/c has been on? I don't think it would stick.

Very true...

I have heard f people wrapping the lines and Accumulator with a certain type of thermal wrap... actually looked decent (the material was dark) but it also helped the efficiency of the A/C system by keeping cold in and hot out.

it takes a couple hours to change out the motor and the whole accembly.

being a chick with little skiny arms helps

those are some thick lines...i dont see how wrap would help them at all...
I've heard of people putting stainless steel braiding over them for cosmetics....

True, but the way I understand it (and I could be wrong) but the "sweat" you see on the outside of those lines is energy lost in the A/C system because of the interaction of the hot engine bay temperature and the cooled freon flowing through the lines

... that being said, I figure any little bit helps, plus it can look good :)

If anything, may help the system to not have to work so hard in the summer.
