AC Refrigerant Refill Help

So I recently did an intercooler install and during said install I accidentally opened my AC refrigerant line and vented out all my R-134a. I have been looking into refilling it with one of those kits sold in car stores, but some people are saying I really need to vent out the air in my system right now. Apparently if I don't do that then it won't be as effective or it could harm my AC system? If not venting out the old air makes it less effective then I am fine with that as I rarely used my AC to the max cold anyways, but I don't want to cause damage to the AC system, any thoughts?

But will it damage my system if I don't vacuum out the air? Because if its less efficient then that's not a problem for me, but if it does damage the AC system then Im definitely going to a mechanic for it.
