Default venting A/C. just want to make sure i got this right.

OK i dont want to breath freon and die but i called around and no shop is willing to help me drain my AC the right way, so i have to vent it into the atmosphere(lol the shops told me to do this). i should just be able to push the release valve at the top of the condenser with a nail by closing the hood on it. or is there a better way? thanks for your help guys.

Has to be sucked out with a straw, and inhaled.

Don't have anything burning near it. Freon by itself is an asphyxiant (you can suffocate if you inhale enough) which is bad enough, but when burned it turns into some really bad ----.

or you can have a jackass friend cut your a/c line and run away leaving it to spray oil and freon all over you.
