Vacuum is vacuum. Doesn't matter if it's a car or truck or a Hoover. You should be able to use an automotive vacuum guage with a great amount of success. Go with a higher quality unit as the cheaper units aren't as accurate.

pretty much.

Here is another good tip: take a picture with your digital camera BEFORE taking anything apart.
