During The Last Few Steps, Just Before Adding New Refrigerant. You Should have Pulled An Vacuum On the System If You Are Not Going To Replace The Receiver, Drier Unit Or Also Called The Accumulator, Drier Unit, Because That Will Keep The Air And Moister Out Of The A/C System.

is the vacuuming an additional step along with evacuating the system? In other words, before replacing the control valve, I should evacuate as well as vacuum?
