I had my A/C removed a while before I thought of turboing it so i didn't have to worry about taking it out. But my friend still has his and we need to take it out, what do we do? Thanks.

all i did was take off the compressor. and all the lines that go into the firewall...

have the system vacuumed before u remove the lines. that stuff is very hard on the ozone. and if your caught its like a 25k fine.

i'm about to remove my AC in a few days to get everything ready for turbo install and was wondering if i just start taking all that ---- off or is there a certain way to do it? and where do i get it emptied at?

shortyz

most dealerships can do it i think, and a/c shops.

I'm removing mine this weekend. My friend tells me I have to see what it looks like when you let it all out.. says it shoots up in the air its just crazy.

Luckily, this is rural PA, and his shop is practically on a farm, so bye bye AC

i hate people like you, i aint no tree hugger but that ---- take like 230yrs to decompose and it eats the ozone in the 230 years.

so ---- you.

Just for the record: me and my friend went to the dealer yesterday to get his drained and we asked the guy why it was such a huge deal and he said that R-34 (new cars) doesn't really hurt the environment that much but the old R-12 really killed the ozone layer (but its illegal now.) He said that the EPA thought it would be simpler to just make all of them illegal to drain into the open air even though only the old stuff is all that damaging. He said you can buy R-34 refills in walmart so its obviously not that bad. (I think I'm right on those names/numbers but if I'm not the point is now its different.)
