Ditto what NiHaoMike said... Your indoor unit will have a bit of lube film inside, but all your lines are dresses downhill, and excess lube will have drained ok. When your new unit is all set up, just pull a good vacuum (and now that you have a good vacuum gauge, you'll be able to know that you've got a good vacuum), and hold it 'til the moisture is out. As I recall, you have a dandy chart that indicates the required time at some particular temperature. You won't be opening the lines to the old unit until your new unit arrives, so moisture should be minimal.

Sorry about your leak. My unit is still humming right along.

Yeah, good looking build quality. Good photo.
