Should not use reciever in cap tube system, it will fill the evaporator in the off cycle and then flood the compressor on re starting.
Mostly found in Oxfordshire, UK :)

Re: Reciever or not
you gain nothing from it and it increases the refrigeration charge at no gain as well. I would personally remove it. The filter dryer serves as your mini receiver to ensure a liquid seal at the cap tube.
A cap tube system is a critical charge system for a reason.
