You absolutely need to evacuate your a/c system completely evacuated because there more than likely moisture in it before you add any refrigerant
If you do not evacuate and THERE IS absolutely ANY MOISTURE IN your a/c system whatsoever; the water/H2O/moisture WILL REACT WITH THE refrigerant gases and turn into ACIDS
after you re-add/charge your a/c system with refrigerant and these acids will start the process of eating the metal of your various a/c components from the inside of the refrigerant passages starting with copper then aluminum etc
it will take a little time before this acid caused by moisture reaction with the refrigerant has eaten the metal inside all your metal a/c components and you discover your refrigerant leaks out again
which will cost you big time replacing expensive a/c components with brand new ones

86NOH20 you say your a/c system has not been charged for years
You absolutely need to evacuate your a/c system completely evacuated because there more than likely moisture in it before you add any refrigerant
Please explain just how moisture can migrate into a system that has been sealed and then pressurized well above atmospheric pressure for many years
If you do not evacuate and THERE IS absolutely ANY MOISTURE IN your a/c system whatsoever; the water/H2O/moisture WILL REACT WITH THE refrigerant gases and turn into ACIDS
Wouldn't the dissicant in the dryer have long since "absorbed" any moisture trapped in the initial refrigerant filling...??
