Reusing A/c Parts?

Im in the process of replacing my a/c components with newer r-134a stuff. Yesterday I pulled my evaporator because I have to eventually replace my heater core and I could smell refrigerant so is there a way to bench test an evaporator? Also I can't find a TXV thats exactly like the one I have so could I possibly clean it and reuse it or should I purchase a new valve thats not exactly like mine.

Here is a website that talks about bench testing an evaporator. It may help?
