I inquired about this a few weeks ago.  It seems, the long and the short of
it all is that it can be done by purging the system with air for about 20
minutes and then refill with 134a when you are done.  Most people did it
this way and had no problems with leaks etc.

Your results may vary... etc etc etc.
