Default A/C Fittings

I recently replaced my evaporator and have a new drier ready to go...when I do seal up the system, I'm going to replace all of the o-rings and use new fittings for the R134 conversion. Then I'll let my local shop evac the system and check for leaks.

My question is...Are the o-rings sufficient for sealing up the fittings, or should a compound or teflon tape be applied to the threads?

The O-Rings alone will be fine.
