You should get/rent a vacuum pump and a gauge set. Both should have the fittings for either R12 or R134a, whichever you are going with.

Get a new drier, too. when you get ready to put the new one in, pour into it about an ounce of the correct refrigeration oil. Same kind you will use in the
compressor.

If possible, use the vacuum pump now to pump down the system and see if it holds vacuum a long time. NO = leaks. Fix them first.

There's a lot of other info if you are changing from the R12 that your car came with over to R134.

Good Luck,

Bob

PS: Go to the library, too.
