It's best to nitrogen pressure test the complete refrigeration system, not just the compressor, or any partial section of the refrigeration system. Without doing this, you haven't accomplished anything.
So, it's your call as to whether to proceed. javascript:void(0);

But you still don't know if, when connecting everything up, that you have a leak proof system. That may be what you intend and if so, I apologize for the perspective that I am coming from.
But if you do have a leak, once everything is connected and pressure checked, in all likelihood it will be at one or both of those two connections since you've confirmed the individual assemblies don't have a leak.
For what it's worth, the EPA (as well as yourself) shouldn't care if the partial assemblies are leak proof - only that the completed system is leak proof.

I think that is the one he has, or real similar to it. He sent me a picture one time, but I don't recall where I put it. But as I remember, the picture you are providing is close.
