For the man at home mechanic, like most of us, that is the best
way to do it. (0:
Mike

I converted my 86 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagon over
to the
r134a by installing a new dryer, filter, compressor oil total
cost less
than $90.00 US. Just bought the filter and the other parts from
Napa and
blew one can of 134 through the system after installing the new
dryer and
filter and it has been working really good for over two years.
Since the system had bee open for less than 20 minutes I didn't
bother to
evacuate it. I put six oz  of oil in the new dryer before I
installed it.
And it was just like the parts man told me, most of the old oil
will be
in your dryer and what isn't in the dryer will spray out when
you run
that first can of r134 as  a purging charge.
