Any reason to get a 4 way manifold? It seems like the only advantage is that you could use the vacuum pump to purge air out of the refill line instead of venting a tiny bit of refrigerant after opening the valve at the can. e: maybe it's pointless? It seems like 4 way manifolds usually have bigger lines on the vacuum port to make it faster, or at least that's what the internet says in the HVAC tech world.

6+ years ago I took the compressor belt off of my civic because it sounded awful and was dragging the motor down at an idle. I finally got tired of not having ac, so yesterday I threw a new denso compressor on along with an accumulator. There was actually still pressure in the system, which was nice to see. Held vacuum (actually held it for 24h because I ran out of time to work on it), charged with 20.9 oz. It's underperforming a little, I'm only getting mid 50f in the center vent. Pressure was a little low overall (~10-20, 120ish @85f), and I never saw the compressor cycle. Once it kicked on while charging, it stayed on for as long as I was out there paying attention. I've got a new expansion valve I didn't install, is that likely what's going on? I'd assume it's just a low charge, but I'm pretty confident it's not. I'm going to recheck pressure and see if it developed a leak while charging that didn't make itself known when it was under vacuum.
