I am using a new valve - can I pressure test with shop air?

I was just concerned that the old one was labeled R134a and I thought that I might have a converted system. I bought a new valve from fastlane and it looks similar or identical to the original one that is currently in my older car.

I have no cylinder of N2. At the risk of sounding really dumb, is there any way I can pressure test with shop air?

Or would it be not worth the risk of getting moisture in the system.


It isn't that humid here and I am planning on pulling a vacuum on the system for several hours before I fill it up with R12.


Comments?
