You should recover the R134 that is in it not just let it out,you could probably get a local shop to evacuate the system and record the total number of ounces, and then for a small charge they can vacuum down your system to get out any moisture and recharge your system with what they removed and add how much 134 it needs to make it full, if you leave it open for any period of time replace the dryer(AC canister) being a 98 and as cheap as they are it would be a waste not to do it. Just take your time the compressor is easy to R & R.

My plan is to replace the compressor and then take it to a shop so they can oil and charge it. The system should not be open for more than the time it takes to move the lines from one compressor to another. I don't have a flare nut wrench, is that a necesiity or just something to make it easier?

now i understand fully. i didnt even get that far. I think i'm still under the "mom" warranty so she might pay for it to get done because i dont want to attempt and pssobly **** something up. I've done head gasket changes and accessory replacement before, but its so damn hot and the tools at my house are in serious disarray. the conditions are real f'ed up so i'll leave it up to the pros for now.
