Need place to discharge AC

[Cooked Rice]

I need to have my A/C compressor discharged (after doing an engine swap) so I can remove it. I'm not 100% sure who can do it, and what the cost is?

Check with phuqu at Screamin he uses a mobile guy that'll come to your place and do it for you.

Any AC shop will have a recovery tank. If you're re-installing the compressor after the engine swap, you'll need an AC shop anyway for the re-charge...

Rumor has it you can drain it into the atmosphere yourself if you don't get caught.

At least on my car there's a small valve in one of the AC lines, very similar to a tire air valve. Just push the pin in with a screwdriver and release all that environmentally friendly gas.

lol haha. Yeah I need it off ASAP cause it's just hanging there by the lines, and it's tugging on the powersteering lines :( I'll give autotemp a call.

It's a moral issue more than anything. Once you unbolt any line, the gas gets released. Try not to breathe it in if you do it the ghetto way.

don't breath it in, and especialy don't smoke, r12 or 134a when breathed through a cig makes a mix similar to mustard gas :thumbsup:

but if it "accedently" leaks out what can you do :dunno:
