enviro safe propane stuff...and vacuum isn't a necessity with it... So... Sure, use that pump.
Really? Could you elaborate on this a little?

Sorry, but the GAST pump only pulls about 25.5, ac work needs 29.9"hg or better.
I sort of figured it wasn't enough, oh well.... Temp shouldn't be an issue it was 35*C here today (95*F for you non metric types)...

In Canada, 12 and 134 are illegal... So the only option is enviro safe... Instructions for enviro safe state, blow out the lines with nitrogen, then blow out with a bit of enviro safe, then charge with about 10% the volume of refrigerant as you would with 12... And adjust charge to maximum cooling...

Keep in mind, the blown out enviro safe is flammable, and you need to be careful of sparks...
