You "MUST" have your A/C system Full evacuated before removing any lines. failure to do so is a federal violation as per EPA guidelines

with that said, easy parts to remove are the Condensor (next to the radiator, looks like another radiator lol), Compressor (belt Driven), Hoses, Reciever Dryer, and lines to the dash. the Evaporator is in the dash and is harder to remove.


Good luck :)

you don't have to remove evaporator, leave it if you don't have, replacement part from non a/c system. anyway it is not hard to remove evaporator, just take off glove box, and you'll see evaporator. disconnect connectors, and unscrew 5 screws which holds it, and just pull it out. peace of cake :)

Getting caught in doin this can lead to jail time and a heafty fine.
Also the R34/R32A Can cause severe nerve damage! they are not something to be played with.
Just putting that out there. If you Mix it through the engine, it can cause a type of mustard gas that is very bad! So dont play around with it.
If you DO, do it in the drive way, make sure your not around, and dont breath too much of it in.
