AC Common leak locations
I'm about to start the process of getting the AC to work in my 2001 (V10) sometime this week. I've hooked up manifold gauges to the high/low side and both are showing 0 PSI (gauges worked on my Expedition before I sold it 2 months ago).
Are there any common places for the v10 to developed leaks in the AC system? I've looked along all the parts that are visible on the passenger side with the inner fender splash guard removed but I can't find any signs of obvious leaks.
I need to find a vacuum pump and attempt to refill it with freon.

Leak could be anywhere. I just had to have the rear evap suction line repaired after the back of my PS head wore a hole in the hard/soft line crimp. For me, no shadetree fix for that.
With some guidance from a resident expert here, I vac'd it down, made sure it held, and recharged w 68oz of 134a. Back to COLD again.

Was able to use my air compressor to vac out the system and check for leaks. I connected the compressor's intake to my manifold gauge set and let it run for 2 hours. It was able to pull the entire system down to 25psi of vacuum and held overnight. Refilled with 62oz of freon and everything is now working as intended.
Had to troubleshoot some wiring, the wire harness to the cycling switch on the accumulator was not connected well.
