Doug;
I like the way you think, the simplest solutions are often the most
eloquent. The only problem I see is filling the freon without introducing
air. A closable valve at the inlet and outlet of the hermetic unit might
be feasible. You would still need schrader valves to check the pressure
and adjust the level.
So, fill the hermetic unit, attach to vehicle schrader valves, open
valves and try to bleed interconnect lines. The only other problem is
possible restriction in flow at schrader valves.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
