I just looked at my BRZ and for the life of me, I don't see one, but that doesn't mean there isn't one, I'm just not sure where it might be.......
Harbor Freight sells a vacuum pump for $99. Don't try that air operated thing they sell, it is a piece of junk.
If it is actually part of the condenser, a used one would work as long as the system was still pressurized before you removed it and you close off the ends once removed and reinstall it immediately and pull a vacuum and recharge it.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thanks for the help. I downloaded the shop manual and I notice that they refer to the "cooler drier" and the "condenser ASSY" (condenser assembly) in separate occasions in the troubleshoot section, but in the diagrams listed for parts they don't actually label the cooler dryer anywhere, and I can't find a part named "cooler drier" (or "cooler dryer," as they use both spellings in the shop manual)
If anyone else wants to chime in here and help me out I'd really appreciate it.
