That is a good idea having a vacuum tank. With only 15 pounds of ambient pressure not sure how much help it would give but surely some.
I too have not been doing too much with composites. except what I can do outside. I am recovering from surgery to repair my sinuses from chronic asthma and allergies brought on by dust.
I probably should put this in an OT thread but the photos show some of the projects that I have built. Apologies to 3wheeler.

One great help with Vacuum Bagging is to make a Vacuum Resoviour. Its easy, just use a pressure tank, with a valve. The quick application of Vacuum will help seal allot of small leaks.
I also made a control box for a Gast 1/2 HP vacuum pump I have. It used a vacuum pressure switch to maintain at least 10 PSI of vacuum.
But, the vacuum bagging table, and pump are all in storage. I needed the room in the kitchen for the 3 axis CNC project (which has been up and working for several years now) ;-)....
