No. You can pay someone to do it, or rent the equipment, or whatever. It needs to be a long-running vacuum pump, because the system has to be held at a deep vacuum to get out the moisture.

You can still do the charging once the system is empty. Just make sure you have a good measuring scale to see how much you're putting in. ANd monitor vent temps as you charge. The vacuum in the system draws in a lot of refrigerant to begin with, and the rest it will draw in once it gets running.
