   There is an online dealer of Goodman products, and I believe they have a video. I think they were in Indiana or Kentucky but I'm not positive. I lost all my bookmarks when I got a new laptop, but if you search enough on the web, you should be able to find them. You might start looking at these two:

   Also look at DESCO's site or their ebay site for info. 

   I assume you bought a 'package' rather than 'split system'.  Even having to ask the question if you bought a split system is scary. If you don't have all the equipment, count on at least $500 worth of second hand tools needed to do a split installation (gauges, recover pump/tank, vacuum pump, oxy-acetylene, Nitrogen bottle, thermocouples, etc. , EPA license test, etc. )

   I second your fears.Installing a split system is not for beginners. Granted, if you've been a HVAC tech all your life, have the tools, certifications, etc... oh right, you wouldn't be asking that question!Fact is, unless the connections are brazed, a tight vacuum pulled, etc. that the refrigerant will be contaminated with the remnants of flux, oxygen, and moisture. Even if you install a strainer, the system life and performance will be compromised.Perhaps this is the reason that Goodman specifically excludes internet-purchased systems from their warranty coverage. I'd do the same thing if I were them...
