So this weekend I changed the oil in the compressor, flushed the system(less
the compressor0 with 2 gal. of mineral spirits + 1 bottle of A/C system
flush from the FLAPS. I blew the system out afterwards with compressed air.
I also located a new Receicver/Drier and ordered a new Expansion Valve. It
will be here Tues.

So I am confused as to the basic path of the flow from the compressor. Can
someone help me put these in order. I am confused with the Bentley(being for
86+ and my Vanagon being 85) and the talk of mislabeled high and low
pressure.

1 - Compressor Discharge side
2 - Expansion Valve
3 - Condensor
4 - Drier
5 - Evaporator
6 - Compressor Suction Side

Also I did pick up a Vacuum pump an will be looking for a Vacuum Gauge to
attach to it. I want to watch the pressure after applying it to the system
to check for leaks.

Thanks,
