I disagree with this part. How much does the system take? I bought R12 at the auto parts store earlier this year for $18 a can and was told it went on sale for even less a couple weeks later.
You're afraid of it leaking out, but you're going to put the system under deep vacuum for a lomg time before filling it. So any significant leaks would show up then. Granted, things can leak under pressure that don't leak under vacuum, but it won't be a huge leak that will loose all the freon right away.
How close are you to LarryBible? Maybe you could hire him to do the vacuum and fill.
