leave vacuum in A/C several days?

I'm almost done repairing my A/C in my W123 and pull a vacuum on it last night for about 45 minutes before I called it quits for the night. The system seems to be holding the vacuum fine. I planned to finish the job this morning but some unexpected family plans have me tied up all day. I can finish the job tomorrow.

Is there any problem leaving system in a vacuum over 2 days? I know that the bearings in the R4 compressor are somehow sealed with the oil I put in the system so I wonder if having the system in a vacuum on so long might somehow eventually dry up those bearings and cause a leak. Thoughts?
