I will be setting up my system with all new o-rings, drier, etc.

I will need someone to pull a vacuum on the system and charge it up with R134. Thing is, I kinda have to be around to watch/troubleshoot the electrical aspect of it so it would have to be ok that I'm in the "shop" or wherever this takes place.

What kind of price am I looking at for this?

It's for the Mirage. Tiny condenser. I wouldn't think too much. I just need to verify two things

1.) There are no leaks or other issues under vacuum with everything installed with new o-rings.

2.) The compressor kicks on with all of my wiring changes and it works as it should. I will also need to find an R134 adapter before then.

Well a vacuum has to be pulled on it prior to filling correct? Like you have to do both sequentially.

idealy, yes... however the vehicles that I charged, I just added dye to it then charged it and checked for leaks with a light.

vacuum on the system is a must, esp. if it was open to the atmospere,it will evap any condensation and allows the system to help pull in the refigerant in order to fill it proper.

adding freon to a system that is a bit low usually works fine, but if the system has been open for ANY reason, it will need a vacuum.

It was completely apart. I drained as much as the R12 oil from the compressor by laying it on its side, shaking it, etc.

I will be putting the new o-rings back on and drier pending a vacuum/fresh fill
