Those are some good looking 90's. I got the fittings on - the high side would not take a shrader so I left it in the old fitting, and will find out when I put some gas in it if the red hose will still read. The blue one was pretty easy, I dremmeled down my smallest needle nose to make a tool. I keep wondering if I need to buy a cheapish manifold hose set for this. The manifold gage hoses I borrowed from Reilly's Auto has the rubber hose pieces that fit at the bottom inside all the hose hookups are broke and I've been running this vacuum pump for 2 hours and it won't get better then -15 - halfway to the 30 mark. I shut it off once and it didn't go back any so hopefully no leaks in the a/c. The searches I have done for only getting to -15 say its either the pump or the hose connections so thats why I wonder about the cheapish purchase of a manifold hose set. Is -15 good enough?
