20inches of vacuum would be enough right Jeremy?

Oh yeah. :o


20 inches isn't enough to boil any moisture off, but it is better than nothing at all. If you have a fairly dry system, and renting/buying a true vacuum pump is beyond your means, a venturi pump can pull enough of a vacuum to get rid of noncondensibles. Harbor Freight carries one for ~$15. Name brand versions go for ~$50. They do pull a bunch of CFM though.

The following chart shows the boiling point for water versus vacuum.

I swear, I've seen the heat make people do crazy things here.  It totally screws with people's heads.  I drove mine to work today with the windows down because I'm just plain crazy...and too cheap to shell out $80 to get it re-charged when I've just leardned to accept the fact that you can't escape the heat here in AZ.
