Oh, and if anyone is looking to evacuate their own systems using the Horrible Freight stuff listed above, the FSM tells you exactly what to do, how much vac it needs to hold and for how long. If you pull it apart for repair, you're supposed to evac it for 30 minutes.
That's part of the reason I used the tankless compressor that I had for the job instead of my garage compressor with the tank. The vacuum thing requires a continuous 40psi or 4.2 CFM to maintain the vac, and with a typical home garage compressor, it would be cycling a lot over the course of 30 minutes. (Imagine just sitting with a paint sprayer wide open for 30 minutes, and what that would do to your compressor.
)
Here's a compressor very similar to what I used:
