ROBINAIR 15434 - A/C VACUUM PUMP 4CFM 2-STAGE R12/R134A 1/3HP 20-MICRON

The Robinair 15434 is a good choice. New they are over $200.00 so if you can find a "like new" pump that "hasn't been stolen from a construction site" for $95.00 you have a bargain. You will want to change the pump oil for fresh before pulling a vacuum. The recommended time is 3 hours at 29.9 hg's of vacuum to remove all moisture for a system that has been open.
Another bargain right now is to go buy your R134 at Sam's Club. 12 can cases of 12oz are $35.47...you'll pay nearly that much for just 3 cans at your local parts store.
