The shop said they pump it down to remove the refrigerant and then change the part, add 2 ounces per component plus dye, then re-charge and test.

Does vacuuming the system remove the oil? I'd imagine it is throughout the system hung up everywhere...

I was fooling with it today and had some kind of AC explosion or something... WHY did they make the friggin' dye look like coolant

Gonna let it rest for a day or so...
