    I think the "evacuation" removes the air and moisture from the system by creating a vacuum, then the fresh R134 goes in.
    ya that sounds about right

      Yes, you have to evacuate the system because the air in there takes up space that could be taken up by the R134A. I used a hand-held vacuum pump to evacuate my AC system, it worked great. It just made my hand tired, it's a lot of pumping, but it only took about 15 mins.
