This system is not as easy as current marketing is trying to 'brainwash' people to add their own Freon and get their own A/C system correct again. IT IS NOT THAT EASY ALL THE TIME!!!
KNOWING how much Freon to put into the system and what type of Freon and OIL is important.
I am ALL FOR someone doing something themselves...BUT...this is not one of those times.
IT would be BEST if they would pay someone who has the correct tools, gauges...know-how and the 'tricks' of the trade to know what to do if they see that something is wrong.

I have some questions about my a/c in my car. When evacuating the a/c lines of moisture, what kind of vacuum do y'all recommend? Also I need to replace the compressor along with the accumulator drier. When i vacuum out the moisture, should i replace the accumulator drier first then vacuum out the system? or should i do vice versa?
Also for the refrigerant, what brand do y'all recommend?

Is this part of a conversion to 134A for your system?
I used one of these for years before I bought a real vacuum pump. You need a good compressor for it to work. If you have an oiless compressor that probably won't have enough CFM for it to work.
