A/C Repairs - Do it yourself???

I took the saab to a local shop early this week on getting the AC going. It hasn't worked in a number of years, but the wife is starting to really get grumpy so I thought I'd try and get it going. The shop said the expansion valve is bad and the line from the compressor to the evaporator has a leak. They want $900+ to fix it, I found the parts online for $100 and could do the work myself.
The question I have is whether or not thats a good idea, everything I read says to let a pro do the work, especially around opening up the system and potentially getting water in it. Has anyone done any of the work themselves, how did it go? Should I get any special tools (vacumn to clear the line)? Will I need to replace the dryer?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
