No nitrogen, typical goodman hack job, bet that txv is gonna love all the carbon crap in those pipes..... read manufacturers specs for silfossing the joints, everyone will say flow nitro while brazing.

It would be wise to place a damp rag on that suction pipe to protect the house and possible paper or flammables in that wall as you braze. It would be a good idea to inform that the brazing material will follow the heat and to apply heat back into the fitting as a final procedure. Nitrogen will assure a dry and clean inside pipe.
