Default Ac hose replacement

I have vette with the a6 compressor. The ac was working well, with it just being overhauled, when by accident the suction hose got punctured. I will replace the hose and dryer. My question is will I need to flush the system and totally put new oil in, the full amount, or just replace what I find in the old dryer.
