Time to charge A/C??

Well, my condenser finally arrived the other day and I got it all installed. I was going to flush the lines while I was replacing it, but I ran into a few probs. I went to 3 diff. auto places and they all told me they didn't have anything to flush the lines with, besides which I didn't have access to a jack at the time, so I couldnt have disconnected the line at the compressor anyway. So now I've got a new compressor, orfice tube, Accumulator, and condenser, I posted a pic of the tube in another post of mine, it seemed mildly dirty but nothing too crazy.

I'm thinking that the orfice tube should be able to block the little bit of debris which could still be in the lines. Any opinions on this?? Can anyone with experience with this tell me if there's usually alot of crap left in the lines or is most of it caught and removed with the old tube? Like I said, everything else has been replaced, so the lines would be the only place debris could come from. Opinions would be appreciated... Should I just evac. and recharge the system, or am I asking for trouble by skipping the flush?? I noticed there's a muffler of some sort on the line that goes to the compressor as well, I'm wondering how well it would flush if I did remove it.

For anyone who's interested, I flushed the lines and there WAS crap in them, so it's not a good idea to skip this step. The A/C is now ice cold
