Does anyone have the equipment to evacuate and refil the A/C? I got my car running yesterday!

What's the status of your A/C right now?
What's in it and how long has it been in there? Or is it empty? If so, how long has it been open?

I Have a new compressor and while its never had the factory seal broke on it it has been on the car for a while. I have all new lines but they aren't installed and I think a new oriface tube somewhere but the evaporator and condensor are original and the system has been empty and the hoses unsealed for a very long time.

And when I say the hoses were unsealed I mean the old ones on the car currently.

You will need a new accumulator as well. If you don't replace the accumulator, your new lines will not last very long.
I have a vacuum pump, but I don't know if I'll be able to get to it before the tech session. It's in storage currently.....

I don't know of any. I'd get one from a vendor you trust.
There are two styles of accumulator - "new style" and "old style". The "new style" accumulator is fairly cheap. If you got new hoses, hopefully they are new style and you can get one of the cheaper accumulators.

I was surprised at how cheap the accumulator is so I'm going to order one any thing else I should get beside refrigerant? I might can get my hands on a vac pump as well but I'm probably less likely then your self lol
