Reciever dryer or accumulator depending on the system. They're both the same. Its the little can behind the headlight. If you pull a vaccum on it for a long time you can reuse it but replacing it is easier and cheaper if you dont own the $400 pump to do it.
To charge the system you will need to produce a vaccum anyway but only for 10 minutes.
If you disconnect the a/c system, plug the hoses with something. Moisture plus a/c refrigerant equals acid. Bad for the rest of the system. Usually nothing to worry about, but it can happen.
