LOTS, buy a new compressor if it's the compressor leaking and not an o ring. DON"T buy rebuilt compressors, buy new, only 100 dollar difference. DON"T use 134a, it sucks in our cars. USE R-12 or R-414B. If you don't have the tools as far as a STRONG vacum pump, have somebody fill it for you. You need to let it stand over night to see if the vacum holds or you may have leaks if it doesn't.

make sure you have the right amount of refergerant lubercation too in the system before you close and fill it. You only need to run the vacum pump for 5 min, if you run longer you suck the lub out of the system
