I put all your information together in a single post if that is OK with you and if I understand the technical information correctly.......Evacuation and Re-Charging C4 ZR1 A/C System
Jep......... really appreciate you taking your time to explain this for us

I will go slow and practice vacuuming A/C and checking for leaks first. I think before I install new drier. Then vacuum the A/C system a second time after I know there are no leaks.

The 91' ZR-1 is running sooooo good it is unbelievable
With ALL the eliminated systems and with TB coolant removed LT5 Eliminated Systems.

The new technique of Eliminating Air from the coolant system worked perfectly for this refill of coolant Filling With Coolant and the Air Locked Water Pump.

No problem, Cliff. Glad to be of assistance.

Golden Rules:
1) The better you vacuum the system, the better it will perform. You won't hurt the vacuum pump if you want to let it run for 5 hours.
2) Always purge the air from the charging(yellow) line when you connect a can of Freon.
3) When the compressor is running, always charge to the low(blue) side with can upright.
4) NEVER, EVER open the high side valve when the compressor is running. That flimsy Freon can will not contain the pressure(can you say SHRAPNEL!!!). I've never done it and don't want to try.

If you follow these rules, no harm will be done.
