Default A/C Compressor/Clutch Replacement Q

After replacing the A/C Compressor (filled with proper amount and type UV dye oil), condenser, receiver dryer, block expansion valve, and lines (everything but evaporator, is it ok to drive the vehicle before adding refrigerant?

As in driving it from home to a place that has the vacuum and manifold, without engaging the A/C system or defroster of course.

The compressor wont kick on if it has no pressure in the system even if you try to get the AC to kick on. So no worries, drive away!
