Discharging my a/c and removing.
Discharging my a/c and removing. Ok so I'm removing my a/c but is it save to discharge it in my garage?
***** pretty bad for you but what steps should I go through for discharging? Will freon get everywhere if I remove it?

It is against the law to willfully discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere. Take it to a shop that does vehicle AC and just have them recover it for you. It won't cost much and you won't be breaking the law.
Would it be safe for me to release it in my garage and just air it out?
open the doors and you'll be fine. Damn near any engine modification is against the law if you drive your car on the street, whats one more broken law. Maybe get a fan and dont dump it all at once. Dont just sit in a fog filled room and breathe it in either. Wasnt that long ago that it was legal and totally acceptable to vent that **** to the atmosphere. ****** Cali laws, they are like plague and spread.

When you depressurize the system freon will come out, so there really isn't any way to depressurize first and then drain the freon because that is the gas that is under pressure. There is no air in the ac system.
oh yeah thats right. There is some oil in there though right? I just drained all the freon, gonna start dismantling the a/c. I'll check back in.

try to get the car outside. you will get a oil mist on **** after the cloud settles. Get some old bed sheets over the windsheild, and another over the engine and fender. maybe even the roof, and hatch if you want, I did it on some cars that got oil on the glass and it was hard to get off.
Crack a line were you have a bunch of rags towels around that spot, and run away and let it drain.

If you take it to a shop they will likely do it for free since they are going to reuse it anyway. They hook up a machine, press a button and it sucks the system down in about a minute. No wasting bed sheets, no mess on your car or driveway and its better for all of us.
