Replaced the drier with the condenser, compressor et al, ad nausaeum. When I discovered that the evap was leaking, I shot some refrigerant into the system and left it in there (it would maintain about 30psi...above that it leaked) until I pulled it apart and reassembled it yesterday.

I know for a fact, that a mechanically connected, belt-driven system will not hold a deep vacuum. And that they generally leak around the compressor drive shaft because it is designed to hold pressure, not a vacuum.

I know that. I wrote that wrong; In practice, I closed the valves and then shut the pump off.
