Correct, no, you don't.
Just because you've left the system open in no way causes the evaporator to fail.
The only downside to leaving the system open is the possiblility of getting dirt inside the system. Of course the receiver/dryer needs to be replaced, as the dessicant was destroyed within the first few hours of being open....
Just ensure the system is flushed/clean and replace the broken parts and you'll be good to go.
Unless the main manifold hose was leaking, I'd leave it alone as well.
With a W124, the cost of the parts needs to be balanced with the value of the car. Unless you plan to hold this car for a long time, it's not economic to do a wholesale replacement of everything.
I've done two evap replacements, and it's a big project....
