I believe that it's good practice to replace the desiccant drier when any major work is undertaken on the system. They're not prohibitively expensive but a bit of a pain to do...mounted next to the condenser on the off side, behind the front grill.
All parts should really come with new seals, if not, you'll need the appropriate replacements, suitable for AC systems.
