to clean an old system they will vacuum it out and they will also be able to detect any leaks. be aware theres a good chance the hoses will need replaced, its a good idea to do so anyways and you can expect to pay $100 for the hoses. I would reccomend you install all the components and then go to your a/c shop and have hoses made to fit perfectly.
also may as well purchase a new drier they are cheap and it wont smell bad like a used one probably will.
good luck! | | |
