PS: You do NOT flush out the dryer, or the compressor.

I let my compressor drain for a couple days, turning it every 8 hours or so,
then gave a quick rinse inside with mineral spirits. A quick install into my
van, then vacuuming out the system evaporates any solvent left in the
system. Then I added oil, and charged the system. It's blowing VERY cold
(I'm not using R12 or R134a).
