The A/C on my wagon has been open for some time, one of the hose is cracked open. I never worried about the repair since the evaporator was leaking as well.
I am now thinking I might take care of the more difficult parts like the evaporator, vacuum pods, as well as the heater core while I still have some time before college starts. From there I can take care of the easier stuff when time allows.

Is it all right to do this and are there any negatives to doing this?

Since the system has been open can I remove, rebuild, and flush the A/C compressor?
