Yes, the heat from the engine will actually help remove a little more of the moisture from the system................

To vacuum the AC lines on a 1997 Audi Quattro, first, connect a vacuum pump to the high and low service ports of the AC system. Make sure the system is off, and then run the vacuum pump for at least 30 minutes to remove moisture and air. Afterward, close the valves on the pump and check for any leaks. Once the vacuum holds steady, you can proceed to recharge the AC system with refrigerant.
I wouldn't do it. the right way is to hook the vehicle up to an ac charging machine, and vacuum the system.
Depending on the year of the 302 and the vehicle, vacuum lines run all over the engine compartment, and under the dash. With a vacuum leak the engine could idle high or run rough, or the heat and ac controls may not operate properly.
run motor and set A/C on max, blower on full, pull a vacuum on the system and recharge with R12a 2.9Lbs
Moisture in a vehicles AC system can react with the R134a or R12 refrigerant and create an acid that will eventually eat through seals and o-rings and even orifice tube parts. It is recommended you vacuum your system whenever it loses charge or whenever your extremely low on refrigerant. You can rent a vacuum at Auto Zone for free (200$ refundable deposit) and pull a 26-28 inch vacuum.

To connect a vacuum pump to an AC system, first ensure the system is properly evacuated of refrigerant and all service valves are closed. Attach a set of manifold gauges to the service ports on the AC unit, then connect the vacuum pump to the center port of the manifold using a suitable vacuum hose. Open the valves on the manifold to allow the vacuum pump to draw air and moisture from the system. Once the vacuum reaches the desired level (usually around 25-30 inches of mercury), close the manifold valves and turn off the vacuum pump.
The vacuum that operates the doors for an ac system is created from the vehicles engine. Check under the hood for vacuum lines that have cracked or have become disconnected to start.
If the system is being completely filled, a vacuum will have to be pulled on the system. If the system just needs to be topped off then a vacuum pull is not needed.
