If this job is not done right you will destroy the evaporator...the COndesor and the Compressor......oh it might work this summer...it might even work next summer....but in a short amount of time it will be rendered junk thats beyond repair and replacement of all parts will be highly expensive.

the oils are not compatible and they are very hdroscopic which means they draw moisture that was in the lines from not being properly evactuated with a proper vacume pump...not a vacume cleaner....they form acids that will eat the system from the inside out.

I highly recomend doing a search on Airconditioning.....freon and a few other terms..there have been some extremely informative threads you need to read by experts in the field...
