Yes, remember in the mid 80s the old practice for repair was to vent all the Freon to the air, fix, vacuum and refill. Reclamation receiver equipment wasn’t/still isn’t cheap and loss of Freon was the original symptom to malfunctioning ACs. This made it less and less of a possibility to even repair systems. R 11 Chillers are a whole different story.
