I read something about purging with nitrogen after brazing joints. Is this completely necessary?

I'm going to find a bigger/better A/C unit while they are plentiful. Mine also needs a new fan motor. By the time I replace that, fix the leak, and recharge, I probably could have gotten a new one at Walmart...
I still want to hack it up and let the charge out, but hopefully I can reuse the R22 this time.
Back to my original question:
If I get another window unit, around 12k BTU, can I install some manual ball valves to reverse the cycle? That seems relatively easy, just flip the valves every season.
