One of my low side metal lines unfortunately suffered from a hairline crack. I subsequently removed the line and took a few days to finally braze the crack. I had the exposed line ends taped up while I was doing this.

The previous refrigerant was R12 and now i need to recharge the car. I may still use R12, since I still have a good supply of it, but Enviro-Safe Industrial r12a has my curiosity.

What I read about ES is that moisture is not an issue with it and should be charged with no vacuum pulled (although ES industrial you can).

So my question is if moisture is not an issue, can I reuse the Drier?
It seems to me a waste if you have a new drier and then you expose it to the atmosphere to have the same pressure. Or am I missing something?
