Refilling A/C and Coolant system.

[R34P3R]

So my truck has been sitting in the back yard for a couple of months now. The front end was wrecked and I've finally gotten the parts I need to get her running again. The radiator, condenser, windshield washer reservoir and battery have been replaced. I'm paranoid about just topping all the fluids off. Is there anything I should be aware of? Like do I need to "flush" or clean any of the piping? I'm sure nothing got in to any of the lines but incase something did (dirt, leaves, bugs, etc), what would someone do to ensure that very tho g is clean. I'm mostly worried about the A/C lines.

 

Also... anybody know how to charge an A/C system that has been emptied?

You are going to want to evacuate the a/c system before recharging it. This is both for leak detection and to remove any atmospheric moisture in the system.

 

It's probably a good idea to replace the receiver/dryer at its point also.
