I bought some stuff:
Vacuum pump and manifold gauges.
*Why I bought this one: Price, reviews and pretty blue case!*

AC Crimper Tool
*Why I bought this one: I was going to get the non- hydraulic (more reliable version) but I realized that you can't
use that type easily when the hoses are on the car. So I went with this one (ratings, and number of dies in the kit).*

Refrigerant Tap:
Why? One of the reviews I read on the Manifold said this was the one that worked for him.

I have a trip planned for *June 19th*, so that is my "get er done" drop dead date.

So I'll keep posting as this progresses. Expecting some parts soon...
