You're really sure that there is no difference here between doing it right and otherwise?
You cannot be getting all of the AIR out, since you're forcing it out the high side. Sure the system will work, but it is working harder than it would need to be. That means increased pressure, and increased fuel usage.
And it takes a lot of moisture to create a blockage. It only takes a little to contaminate your oil. I am betting that this Mustang is an anomaly. Does "owned lots of cars" mean that you don't keep them long?
