Default Removing A/C on a Civic

How hard, and what is involved in removing my A/C system out of my Civic? Should I get this profesionally done? And if so, how much does it cost.

use a valve stem screwdriver, pull out the thing in the cap (with the blue plastic cap on it). unscrew it all the way, (do this with the car either outside or in a well ventilated area as the ---- (freon, or r32j whatever) is pretty bad for your health . when it all leaks out, grab yourself a thumb wrench a 10mm socket/wrench and a screwdriver.

i swear to god, you could take anything off a honda with a 10mm a 12mm a 14mm a screwdriver and a thumb wrench.

Freon inhallation is deadly b/c it's heavier than air, and it sits in your lungs and won't leave. I hear many people die from it b/c they don't know what happened. I wonder if that means you need to breathe standing on your head for a while and your all clear?

HAAH! Thats actually they do DO! If you breath in a gas that is heavier than air just do a hand stand or hang upside down from a monkey bar for a while...

No, do it in the garage with your mouth over the valve, and push it in with your tounge. Haha.

And then run around talking like Barry White
But it is pretty dangerous.
