YMMV, but I have done two AC repairs lately where the systems stayed depressurized over the winter. One was sort of open to the atmosphere; it was a BMW 3 that hit a 'coon and the condenser line cracked. The other was an evaporator leak that was down to zero pressure by Christmas after a last charge in August.
When I finally got around to fixing them, I left them a good long time on the vacuum pump, and they came back to life good as new. New driers, obviously.
