How to flush an AC system?

Was going to replace the compressor, drier and expansion valve on my girlfriends 96 jetta. I was told even if there is no sign of debris that I needed to flush the system.

Anyone have any tips on how to do this? The only time I've tried flushing a system I had the evaporator out of the car and I emptied an entire arosol can of flush into it before it even dripped out the other side. I just cant imagine that is the most effective way to flush a whole system.

I have a vacuume pump and plenty of compressed air, is there some other way or some other chemical that can be used?

Thanks,

-Rob
