Hey Scott , FYI on the acetone .

I did this exact thing 2 years ago on my 91 bronco , the interwebs says don't use acetone , even though its a great flush , once you get the vacuum pump on there its very volatile and the fumes / pump could make everything go boom .
It's probably overly cautious , but thats why I went with the standard flush stuff.

And hold the vacuum for several hours to ensure the system is nice and tight.

Good luck

could make everything go boom .
wouldnt be my first explosion, however will be working outside in the breeze, so not too concerned with vapors

Wire brushed the melted rubber off the damper, then hit the damper with a rattle can of paint

Have 2 new condensers thanks to Amazon screw up

Just waiting for rain to stop to do second flush with acetone, then final with AC flush

Then assembly
