Hi, I am going to do maintenance for the A/C system in my car. The A/C compressor is not working. So, I need to replace the A/C compressor. While doing some research about this, I found that it is recommended to replace also the condenser, drier, and expansion valve. Before installing the new parts, I need to flush the system with a chemical flush used for /AC systems to clean all the pipes. For sure, before doing all of these steps I have to evacuate the A/C system. My question is related to A/C system evacuation; Can I do it without a recovery machine? I bought a brand-new recovery tank, I will evacuate the recovery tank using an evacuation pump, then connect it to the A/C system in the car to suck the refrigerant from the system. Does this make sense? Do you think it will work? And if it works, what should I do I can't find any place in my surroundings that can do this job for me for free. They told me that we have to do both evacuation and charging the system.
