Well when I replace the liquid line I'm going to have to have the entire system evacuated aren't I? I don't want to have any of the 134a vent to the atmosphere.

I ordered a replacement drier desiccant bag anyways (I think it was $28).

Correct. It will have to be evacuated before replacing the part, and then again once the part is on to remove any particulate and moisture.

Alright good. Glad I ordered a replacement then.

Hoping I can get the replacement line in a couple of weeks because August is going to be hot.
