A/C flush...how?

My system was inop for several years until I finally fund a bad hose and charged it up. I replaced the orafice tube but I believe that it is clogged again (i have noticed that the oil is particularly dirty). I know I should have done it before but that was then and this is now, etc., etc.I have read here that acetone or paint thinner is the solvent of choice but my question is this: Do i have to disassemble the entire system to flush it? How will i flush out the compressor? If i dump a bunch into the condensor will I be able to get it all out without removing it?

Any and all help/advice is appreciated.
