No problem. I thought it was interesting as well. I was expecting 29 in HG but just thought the crappy Autozone rental pump wasn't working well, so I started searching to see if the lower vacuum level would still work. I found a chart that shows the difference in max in HG depending on altitude here:

I also found this that provides the max oil and refrigerant levels for various Ford vehicles:

The max refrigerant is somewhat easy to find, and in newer models at least is on a sticker under the hood. However, all of the references I could find to the amount of compressor oil needed referenced draining the old parts.
