Repoman is on a distinguished road
Well I got the new compressor clutch in the mail. After several attempts to reassemble, the snap ring that holds the compressor clutch to the compressor got the best of me. Not near enough room to work in there and also working blind. I unbolted the compressor from the block to allow me some more room to work but still no go. I had no choice but to crack open the system and remove the compressor completely so I could reassemble it. Reassembly at that point was a breeze. I now have the compressor back in and lines are reattached (hand tight). When I had the compressor out I drained as much oil out of the compressor as I could so I would know how much I put in. I have a few questions regarding recharging the system.

Questions:
1. How much oil do I use to refill the compressor?
2. What kind of oil do I use to refill the compressor?
3. Any ideas on the best place to rent/get one of those vacuum pumps?
4. Does anything else have to be done?

This is all I need to do to get back on the road again.
