I pulled the new compressor hoses off the compressor and in the process of vacuum testing the system closed off now minus the compressor. There is a schrader valve on the compressor that will allow me to pull a vacuum on the compressor all by itself. So we will see if that unit can hold a vacuum as well. The condenser sat on the shelf for months until I removed the plastic fittings and was greeted with a loud pop and hiss so it was vacuum sealed and held it this entire time, I am going to rule that part out.
Knowing my luck, it will probably be the evaporator. Only way I can think of to check the system if these other parts check out separately, is charge the system and run it then look for leak with a UV light. Maybe pull the fan motor and peak in with the light to see if any leaks are showing on the evaporator.
I would strongly consider a custom eliminator pulley at this point! Pull it all off and lose some weight in the process.
