U could but there's plenty of places that have a a/c machine that pulls the vacuum, and adds the correct number of ozs of refrigerant to the system. Takes about 30-45 minutes.
The best way to overhaul the a/c system is to pour a/c flush into the evaporator, the rubber hose/manifold assembly and condenser and blow all out with compressed air. The accumulator/dryer as well as the orifice tube/liquid line must be replaced as well. They are both filters and if not replaced, the new compressor will likely be destroyed in short order. Before mounting the new compressor, u must turn it upside down and drain any/all oil that is in it. The correct number of ozs of compressor oil for your year model must be measured and 1/2 is added to the new dryer and 1/2 to the new compressor. Button it all up and take it to a pro for the correct number of ozs of refrigerant to be added. Nothing to it. That's the way we did ours....still showing 34F at the center vents coming up 2 years now.
