Flushing the ac system
Hello, so I am currently doing my whole ac system including a new compressor, accumulator, orifice tube, snd condenser. I have everything taken apart right now and I was wondering through which lines should I be pushing flushing fluid through. And whether or not I should do it with the new accumulator and orifice tube in or do it without them in. I’m new to ac work and really don’t want to mess it up. Thanks.

Leave the new components out, flush the lines, and evap
Flush the evap in both directions.
I ran a large can of ac flush through, then I used the air compressor to dry out the lines and evap, probably for 25 minutes straight until absolutely dry
