then I vacuumed
Known so many people who screwed themselves by half assing this (should have flushed) and not doing a leak down test. Months later, they needed another compressor. Ugh.
Make sure you added the proper lubrication, if extra needed.
But yes, chest thump worthy to diagnose and fix shit. Kudos.
I used pag 46/sp10 oil which is what the manufacturer specifies. I used one oz less than the system needs, then I used an oil additive as the last oz. This further cools the air, and acts as a seal swell agent. Yes I replaced all O-rings and I have rubber caps on all the hard lines I disconnected. I'm not an amateur.
