you really should have a pro do this, but if your condensor has a hole in it then you should also replace the reciever/drier, pump it down to 29" for 15 minutes, do a freon sweep then pump it down again for another 15 minutes. don't forget to add the correct oil to replace the stuff that is gone from the old condensor.

Just so you understand what it is that you are doing when you are running a vacuum on it.......... Water will boil at a lower temp when atmospheric pressure is lowered. Water will boil at room temp when held at 29" of vacuum so it will boil all the moisture out of the system.
