It's a venturi type so you need a good compressor.

Be sure to replace the o-ring on the pressure sensor.

Not sure where that is, I'll have to look it up. Picked up my r134a today but I'm still waiting for the vacuum pump and hose adapters so looks like this is pushed to next weekend.

@se-monkey the sensor should be before the dryer, after the compressor. It measure the hot side discharge temp and keeps the system from over heating. Just look near the dryer.

A/C Experts? Compressor replacement...

I vacuumed my system down yesterday and it held a vacuum after 40mins. In case you're not familiar of how the gauges are supposed to be when they're in vacuum I added this pic.
