No PAG oil is PAG oil and mineral spirits is mineral spirits - apples and oranges.
Which car are you fixing 91 or 95?
As for cleaning condensor and compressor did you have a failure of compressor if not I am not not sure you really need to clean condensor.
I would drain compressor and measure oil if any left in it and check condition of oil.
If 91 refill with about 5 oz of Ester oil but if 95 refill with PAG oil.
Use new green oring seals.
If you do want/need to clean condensor use special a/c system cleaning solution ands compressed air to flush out condensor.
Do you have vacumm pump and R134a gauge set, etc., to service system?
