I would guess you must reroute it after the monovalve because otherwise the CCU will keep opening/closing the valve inside which if not submerged, may prematurely fail or even possibly be a fire risk.

And basically everything has to come out to do it. Do the evaporator at the same time and all vacuum pods. Not a job you want to do twice.
