Let's say you pulled out the refrigerant until the system pressure settled to atmospheric pressure. Only stuff goes out. Nothing goes in. Then you change the hypothetical switch in 13 seconds in AZ on a 110F day. Little to no moisture enters but you have no vacuum.

What is the operational impact on a system if you then fill your system up with refrigerant?
