I saw this vacuum pump in an advertisement from Harbor Freight. Would
this work for vacuum chucking or is it too small.

Bruce,
The guys are right, this doesn't suck enough.. lol

Also, since it's for evacuating auto AC systems, I doubt that it's designed to
run for extended periods, as you may need a vacuum chuck to do..

I'd really recommend talking to Bill Noble on these things, he's the expert..

Bill got me started with a used pump and a few accessories, and for a very
reasonable price..
He's also "been there, done that", so he's very knowledgeable and helpful in
this area.. YMWV
