Help with AC rebuild

You use use and IR gun to measure the temperature or a thermocouple taped to the metal hose to measure the superheat? And the remote bulb in the paper is where the capillary tube is stuck in the socket in the line correct.
Always use thrermocouple type one sensor at remote bulb and a another sensor at the vent to measure superheat. Always make sure the remote bulb is clean the moisture can make a build up and not allow the bulb to read correctly and the tape must be changed once a year.
 
I have all the ac system installed except for the condenser. Will it hurt anything (the compressor) to drive the car as long as I keep the compressor disconnected and the end of the 2 large hoses secured taped up? There is no oil in it yet and belts are on the compressor and alternator. Thanks

What about the dryer? If not closing the system I hope you did not install that yet.

I did late last night. Haven’t run the car yet. Should I remove the drier and re-cap until I’m ready?
 
Unless the system is sealed and evacuated the dryer will absorb moisture and you will need a new one.
