I believe that flush is OK for the condenser and evaporator but not for the A/C rubber hoses. The original thought on a conversion was that R-12 lines and R-134a lines are made of a different material and flushing out the R-12 mineral oil coating on the old hoses could lead to leaks. This is why I just blow the old oil out with air, then replace the accumulator, orifice tube, compressor and O rings before recharging with R-134a and Ester oil.
