      I had an A/C system blow up in my face the other day, not fun. I was very cold and covered in compressor oil and had a cut on my arm where the loose line flew up and hit me. Make sure that shit is empty before you fuck around with it...

        You will find that it is just hoses and bolts to remove the AC bits. Seal all the ends of the hoses in case someone wants to use it later.

            What if I can't get the car to a shop to remove the freon?

            The A/C wasn't working so it might not even be charged... But anyways I'm in teh middle of a swap and just want to yank out the A/C now.

              jsut do a quick test, push in the shrader valve and let some pressure out, if it immediately stops then its empty. If it keeps bleeding then stop.

              the other thing to test, is to see if the ac engages, since it has pressure fail switch, if there is no pressure or insufficient pressure the compressor wouldnt turn on. Given you ahve ot know if hte compressor was working before hand.

                The belt wasn't hooked up when I got the car. I now have no engine. So I don't really know if it's working.

                I'll go push in teh shrader valve and see what happens.

                If it is still under pressure what can I do with all of it besides taking it to a shop?

                Edit: LUCKY ME! There was no pressure... I will start ripping everything out. :)

                Thanks for the quick response.
