The purpose of the low pressure switch is to keep from burning up
the compressor due to lack of lubrication. You really sure you
want to defeat this?
Also; after multiple leaks, are you giving any thought to
evacuating the system, i.e., a deep vacuum to remove moisture or
how much oil is in the system?

Your lack of understanding WRT proper service procedures is apt
to create numerous problems/failures.
