Default Ran over something in the rain, Shot through my AC lines!!

So i hit something that my wheel kicked up and it went through one of the AC lines...

I can easily replace the line and then get my AC Charged, but do I also need to replace the evaporator or drier??

Thoughts please!

Did the evaporator get punctured? If not, should be good to go. I would replace the drier for sure.

The drier isn't mandatory but it would be a good idea while the system is already open. If you do replace it don't take the caps off until the absolute last second.

did you ever end up fixing this? I bought your car from Doug and I'm burning up here in CA. I don't want to recharge and then later find out there is a leak.
