AC question

hello guys.
last weekend i replaced the AC evaporator in my car.
also toke the opportunity to remove and redo the foam on the flaps.
since i have very limited knowledge with the AC system, i would like to know if there is something i need to do before recharging the AC.
a friend told me it is necessary to replace the drier every time the system is opened.
is that true?
are there any other parts recommended to be replaced?
thank you in advance, and here are some pics from the process.

1. all the parts removed from the car:



2. this is what the car looked with all parts removed:



3. this is the air box outside the car:





4.this is the open air box with the old evaporator. look at the flaps. no foam at all.
well,i got to see it very closely every time i turn the AC on





5. this is the open box with new evaporator and new foam in place.





i have almost 200 pics documenting the process in details. as soon as i have the time i will turn them into PDF DIY document.
