That should be right,23.5 pints.
It is different than U.S. measurment.
I'm sure they mean U.S. pints.
It is a Truck C6,right?

I doubt if you can find the vacuum line, except in a wrecking yard. And then it will probably be beyond use. I suggest getting a section of small diameter steel tubing from an auto parts store (brake line?), a tubing bender, and fabricating one.

The large volume of fluid (12.5 quarts) will be only if you drain the torque convertor(usually there is a plug).
