Subject:      A/C - what it the purpose of the vacuum check
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

  What does this vacuum check do for the system in terms of servicing
the A/C system.

When I put my A/C system back together next week, the pressure in the
system will be ambient. Is the only purpose in pulling a vacuum check to
enable the refrigerant to enter the system more easily? Or a check for
leaks? And do both sides of the system et checked?

Thanks,

John
