Question getting moisture out of A/C

I have the grayish sludge from adding 134a to a system literally filled with water, like the evaporator was full of water. Can I just spray air into the low side and blow the sludge out the hi side. I know the proper way is to take it apart and blah blah blah.... but can it be done this way. Or is there another half ass way to do it.

I just wan't to experiment a little before taking it apart.

You need to take it apart, blow the crud out with compressed air followed by a good flushing with a cleaner intended for use in A/C systems.

If the evaporator has that much crud in it, the A/C system is probably ruined.

Why did the a/c have water in it?

and this thread?

and this thread?

and this thread?
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116/one-12oz-134a-can-pressure-high-117614/

If so, it would be much easier for poeple to follow and provide help if you would stick with one thread.
