Looks aluminum for the aluminum line?

How did you vacume down the system to add the refrigerant?

Right. I was saying I snagged a 5/16" high pressure COMPRESSION fitting for brake lines from my local Napa for about $8. I used it to cut out and repair a small hole in my van's power steering line. That $8 fitting probably saved me $700 in parts and labor as getting replacing that line looked to be a ridiculous job.
