No. It has water in it (20%). You'll spend the rest of your life trying to dry the system out. Acetone sold at the hardware store is 100% strength and will basically flash-dry.

The updated hoses have a large bulge to act as a sort of accumulator on the suction line. It is just a wide spot in the hose, you can flush it. The filter/drier on the high side should be discarded and replaced with a new one. It should be the very last thing installed in the system and a vacuum pulled immediately after connecting it and tightening everything down.
