Is it just the evaporator, or do you suspect other failed components?

IMO, if you don't see any black goo in the system, then you can just replace the evaporator. Then have the system flushed (with a cleaner), evacuated and then charged to spec. It might be a good idea to replace the orifice tube while your at it.

It there's no contamination of the system (black death), it sounds like you'll be good to go.
