Default AC System Question

Recently got my motor put together and put in my car. 96 Z28 with 350 LT1.

To get my AC system working what do I need to do, just put R134 in?

Friend mentioned that it may have to be put "in a vacuum"

Any help would be great.

if you opened the system and let
all the refrigerant out then you
have to take it to a shop and
have them pull down a vacuum in

the system for 20mins minimum.

check for leaks
then charge it.

DO NOT just fill it with a over the counter kit!

cost will be less the 100 bucks.

Make sure you don't just put refrigerant in.....you need to put oil in it too.....
