sorry if you think my answer was flippant. not trying to be. just warning you and others about the damage shop air can do to the internals of a system.
I would use 134a if no dry nitrogen was available. CO2 would also work.
if you have a large tank, and some good filters on your air line, the oil may not be a problem, but the moisture would be. be sure you evacuate well.
I did give some good info on the frozen lines.
sorry again if you thought my response was flippant.
