Wade,
       Glad you found all your leaks and that they weren't in the evaporator 
or condenser.  I assume you'll change the receiver/dryer to a NEW unit since 
the silica gel (or whatever they use for a dehydrating agent) has undoubtedly 
absorbed moisture from the air.  How deep a vacuum (>29 in.Hg??) will you pull 
on the system and how LONG will you hold it to make sure all the moisture 
present is vaporized?
       Do you have all the R-12 you need to refill the system?  How much does 
it take?
