when replacing a compressor in a domestic refrigerator, that has a very small (6 oz.) charge is it best to install an access port on the process tube of the compressor and leave it there for evacuation, and charging or install the access port just for evacuation, and charging then crimp it shut, and solder it closed.Thanks to all.

It's a matter of preference, many will be put off by seeing a valve welded into a system, if mine I would leave the valve, but if selling one I might pinch it off to be more factory in appearance.0

I would also leave it in. And be careful not to burn a hole in the customers kitchen floor like I did many many years ago.0
