Has anyone had any experience evacuating a stock AC c10 system with an A6 compressor using a micron gage?

Some of the old A6 compressors work fine, but overall they do not have a good track record for longevity. If you want to make a simple swap you could try using a Pro6Ten, which is a more modern Sanden R134a compressor in a form factor/package allowed it to directly replace the old A6.
