A/C Drier Question

I just replaced the compressor and drier in my 83 and also did the flush. I blew out as much of the flush solution as I could but I got a feeling there is some left in there. I went ahead and replaced the o-rings and hooked it all back up. My neighbor has a a/c machine that he is going to let me use either tomorrow or this weekend. My question is is it going to hurt or overload the drier to have that moisture from the flush floating around in there for a few days?

The vacuum pump will draw it all out. Leave the pump on it for a day or so.
