Default Recharging A/C system

I bought a new condenser, i'd like to know if i can use those recharge freon bottles from Walmart to fill up the empty A/C system.

Yes and no... The problem is the system has to be evacuated of any air and more importantly moisture first... This takes a special vacuum pump... Also, most of those have some sort of stop leak which is never a good idea in an a/c system...
