R134A cycle switch.
Murray orifice tube
Pag150 oil

I would recommend replacing the high side schrader valve before you start, mine leaked after I got it charged the first time.

There’s an O ring on the top side of the accumulator, bottom side, J tube to low side hose. At the compressor, o ring for the high side at the compressor, o ring at the condensor, o ring out of the condensor, o ring at the orifice tube.

The flush I used was in an aerosol can, it’s nasty stuff. Spray it into the top of the evaporator and drain into a container at the bottom and push the test out with compressed air, same for condensor. That flushes and removes old oil.

I hope I’ve answered all of your questions adequately.
That's very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
