Advice - Compressor Not Engaging
Lefty71 is correct. The final issue was the connectors were faulty so it wasn't taking a charge. Once fixed I was able to pull and hold a solid vacuum, then charge the systems and it kicked on right away. Still nice and cold 3 weeks and counting.
Although I did have to put a makeshift hose in place under the passenger side when I discovered the original was missing and condensation was pouring onto my floor matts. :-)
