I don't recall the table, but I don't think 26 inHg is enough to boil the water out. If you do it again, you may get a bit better vacuum with the fridge compressor if you add a bit of DEC PAG 46 to the inlet before you start. I still purchased a dedicated pump, even though I have access to free fridge compressors.

Did you check for voltage at the clutch? It could be that your compressor is harder to start now, and the clutch gap is too wide. ESPECIALLY if you charged a liquid into the low side. If you did, don't force it to run. Turn it by hand a bunch of times. So many times that you think your fingers are going to come off.
