The vacuum test has failed on the compressor leading to the ordering of a replacement. The replacement, refurbished, is laid out the same as the old one except it doesn't have a rear mounted, within the compressor housing, high pressure switch. I found what the missing part is in a reference picture.
Can I do without the switch? If not, what will it take to added to the compressor that I have purchased?

There should be a plug in the switch port of the new compressor. Remove the plug, and move the switch over from your old compressor. The switch or plug is held in with a snap ring.
NickD and mk378,
Thanks for the help and confirmed what I was thinking. I had read about the reason that it is there and understanding that R-134 has tendencies to have a higher pressure than R-12 it seems reasonable to move the switch.
Thanks again,
