Agreed!
You are doing damage by introducing air that may have oil and water in it from the compressor.

Not a good idea unless you have a commercial grade water removal system (the
kind body shops use) on your compressor.  Water is one of the biggest
enemies of your A/C system.

You always want to use an A/C solvent (or equivalent) as this will make sure
all moisture and other contaminants are removed from the system.

Cheers,

Jeff

I just blow it out with compressed air for a few minutes.
