How to safely remove A/C??? Help!

[WI_S14_Goldie]

I'm in the process of taking out my KA. I'd like to know how to "safely" remove the A/C without releasing the "bad stuff" into the atmosphere...is there any thing i should know about before taking the A/C lines off?? Any help would be great! Thanks.

To remove the freon without making it onto the EPA's most wanted list, you'll have to take the car to someone and have the system evacuated. There is no other way to do it. Unless you happen to have the proper equipment (and most likely the certification), but you wouldn't be asking this question if you had all that.

hmm...thanks. I guess i'll just tie up to the side and re-install it with the new motor then...appreciate the response bro!

That's usually what we do. Are you swapping in a KA or a different motor?

Yeah i just bought another S13...the motor's pretty much shot. So i'm throwing in another KA...I guess i'll end up re-installing the A/C...U got any tips on where to tie up/store the ac compressor while removing the Motor (clearance issues)?
