Wanted: Decent air conditioning 200 1990

You can make your own vacuum pump.

Go to the wrecking yard and get an old York compressor or an old Chrysler compressor. Build a mounting frame(on wheels is best) and hook up a 1 1/2 hp electric motor by fanbelt to the compressor. Simply make a hose that attaches to the suction side of the compressor and attach a fitting to connect to a cars a/c compressor. It will pull about 27 inches of vacuum which is all you are going to get out of a a/c system anyway.

I bet you could make the whole thing for less than $30 if you all ready have an old washing machine motor or something in the garage.

It takes about 10 min to pull a good vacuum
