I am assuming you are in America. If there is any documentation of PTO that they didn't pay you, contact the Bureau of Labor. Regarding the medical payment threats, you are probably not responsible for any accounting errors depending on how old their error was. Immediately sign up for unemployment. If they try to deny it, take them to whatever the arbitration thing is. They will most likely lose.

Let it go, don't let them live rent free in your head. You found a better job, you don't have to speak with them ever again. Maybe your manager just didn't like you - sometimes when you meet someone you just don't like them for some reason.
Sometimes companies just need to go under, at least OP got oof before the shit really hit the fan.
For all we know OP was flakey as shit for months, a shit worker, thinks he knows what he's doing but doesn't, etc. We have only OPs side - he might be the worst fucking employee in the world for all we know.
I once fired a pregnant woman who took us to court afterwards for doing so - I won (very rare in such cases). She wouldn't go on sick leave despite numerous requests, instead preferring to walk around puking in front of customers, leave closing up shop at random, wouldn't come in when she's supposed to and all sorts of other stuff. You can be sure as shit her description of me probably wasn't better then this.

1. Okay first of all stop feeling sorry for yourself. It's terribly frustrating, i know. I and many of my close friends have been unfairly fired from jobs, treated with double standards, basically all my rights as an employee violated by blue haired dykes in HR. Fuck 'em all. You are going to learn that getting fired was a blessing.
2. How good are you at HVAC? Get better. I want you to save up and buy your own HVAC tools and equipment. You and I, friend, are starting up our own HVAC company. I want you to expand into running gas lines, installing water heaters, and a wider range of equipment and installation and maintenance and repair. repair refrigerators and freezers,
3. Tell your friends, family, church congregation and any other groups of good people in your life that you are going into business for yourself, and you'd like them to be your first customers, and you want to be their new HVAC techs. Tell them that you will do free quotes for them and discuss the potential work they need for free while you get your business off the ground. Also advertise in your local neighborhood and close by. The first marketshare you want is the places near where you live so you do not have to commute far. Your own neighbors, the businesses nearby. You will be their new HVAC tech. Look professional, be on time, let them watch or be involved, explain what you're doing, make sure there's no questions or confusion or miscommunication about what you are doing, what it involves, labor and materials, what it will cost. Good communication, eye contact, build trust, show appreciation, take pride in your work.
4. Get a work van or SUV or work truck and load it up with every piece of HVAC tool and begin stockpiling common replaceable parts for HVAC jobs. If you know any customers from your previous job, start poaching them now!!! "Hey it's me, SnakePlisken1776 touching base with you. I want you to know that I no longer work for "xxxx shit company" but since I always did most of the work myself, i figured you and i should cut out the middle man. Would you be interested in signing a maintenance contract with me. It's a better deal, lower price, I'm a small company that can dedicate more time and loyalty to you, less overhead, etc."
5. Talk residential customers into paying cash by offering cash discounts. Cashing checks is risky and time consuming and taking credit cards is expensive. Commercial customers will want invoices and will want to write checks. So basically i suggest you run a legitimate business with state business license number and a federal ID number for your business, set it up as LLC, etc. But i'd worry about that down the line. For now you just need to line up work and get the operation going. Just dont commingle business money and finances with personal finances. That's a huge no no.
6. Running your own small HVAC company is fucking easy. Don't be intimidated by this.
7. In 3 years you will look back and be very happy you got fired by this shit company.
8. The first year you are going to make less money, spend a lot re-investing into the company. So you have to make some budget cuts in other parts of your life. No new clothes, no eating out, no new guns for a while, stop buying alcohol, cancel memberships and subscriptions you pay for, etc
9. By year 2 you will be making just as much money (less the benefits) and have more free time
10. By year 3 you will be very busy, but at least be managing your own schedule and time. By year 3 you will be making more money than your old job and turning down work.
11. Don't worry about reporting checks and income to IRS. You want to run income through your business because you are going to become eligible for lots of loans and financing. This is a good thing. Also, don't worry too much about taxes because you will have lots of stuff to deduct. For now on your business will be paying for all your meals, clothes, most of your gas, tools, vehicle maintenance, etc. What would have gone to taxes will now go toward these expenses. You get to deduct far more stuff as a small business owner than you did when you were an employee.
12. Working for someone else in a field such as HVAC is silly. Man up and run your own local town HVAC shop and mobile business. Stockpile your own equipment and parts, familiarize yourself with the equipment people have locally, maybe start introducing superior better value equipment to people when their old equipment fails, make money on parts supply and labor, build reputation, eventually hire your own employees and treat them better than these scumbags treated you.

I’m not feeling sorry for myself I’m pissed off we live in suck a fucked up society where people feel comfortable that they can do whatever they want without repercussions. I Hate HVAC, but I got my buisness license the week I got fired (doing woodworking out of my small garage shop) I have 18 years experience as a carpenter/woodworking I ran 2 custom shops the last 10 years. But when I relocated out of the city I refused to do anything related to that for the wages offered so I decided to try something different. I have been working part time and just accepted a full time position. Usually my side jobs take a couple weekends or a few long nights but I average way better pay. I intend to keep my business small because it’s hard to make a full time career out of woodworking but only time will tell maybe I’m underestimating the demand here.
Adapt. If woodworking isn't what pays then find out what does.
What do people pay a lot of money for or have high demand or wait lists for out of the city?

I don’t mind making less to do what I like rather than doing what pays the best. I had a 6 year stretch where I worked almost 3000 hours a year to save up and pay cash for a house and when covid came I didn’t get any of that free money because the government office had my information all wrong, the stock market tanked, I ended up having to dip into my savings repeatedly because I continued paying my rent through the entire rent moratorium, by the time the stock market rebounded I broke even. In that time home prices went up 140% out here so all I had was a down payment and enough to not sweat losing a job or having to buy a new appliance etc… Working hard didn’t pay off for me because the government always finds a way to fuck you over, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll just work until I die unless there’s enough inflation that I can pay off my house fast or go back to saving 60% of my income, that’s a pretty unlikely scenario.
My company and I "departed" over a bureaucratic dispute. Can't even say it was a dispute, they wanted to pay a third party +13% of my wage over a stupid bureaucratic reason and make my life hard by having to use it. Communication was impossible and they were immune to reason, basically ignoring everything I said.
When I was finished with the project, we departed, and the project was discarded. ~6 months of work discarded. But before that, ~2 years of work was discarded when it was done.
So they continue to run on the same 2-3 decade old programs, and continue to fix bug to this day.

if you are seeking employment with robust fluff benefits, i recommend going in-house HVAC with a pharmaceutical or medical industry company. smaller contractors hate paying benefits and don’t tend to have competent people managing those benefits.
or, if the wage slavery has got you feeling down, maybe God is telling you to start your own HVAC business.

Good. Let them suffer.

Tips for working in a society where everyone has to compete with jews:
1. Everything in writing
2. Never tell them anything more than they need to know. Never talk to or do anything HR wants unless absolutely necessary.

I'm very sorry, this has to be particularly stressful and upsetting because the nonsense has been going on for so long, and you have the birth of your first child coming soon. I will pray for you and your family.
Everyone loves finding out they've been scammed hundreds or thousands of dollars for repairs that could've been avoided at the initial installation with a few additional tweaks.
