Have a look at these articles:

<http://www.sas-dot-org/E-Bulletin/2003-12-12/labNotesAS/body.html>

Important points:
* These units need oil - If you're not careful, you can lose a lot when 
taking it out of the original machine.  You should rig an oil recovery 
system on the discharge side.
* Cut tubes with a proper tube cutter, NOT a hacksaw.  You don't want 
copper filings in a close tolerance piece of machinery.

Cheers
