Anyone know if I can remove the air cond. with-out releasing all the gas, I might want to put it in something else someday. And save the environment 8). And save some money.
Thanks,Richard

Unless you can take every part off with the lines still attached, I don't think you will be able to do it. You could go to a shop and have them recover all the refrigerant with the machine and then take the parts off.

Yes i think no matter what you will lose all the gas...

Good to know :'(

ya and just another side note if you get caugh cutting a line or depressing the valve to let it out its a huge fine all that o-zone control bull ****. but there is no way to save it your self if you take it to a shop they will charge you to pull the freon out and they dont store it for you they just keep it.

if you just want to gain the small amount of power you would from not having to drive the ac you can just go buy the belt for the non ac set up but the real gain is from taking it out for weight savings.

 

[alwaysFlOoReD]

Well, I don't like wasting s***, and I can't drive this on road, and no trailer . I'll have to see what's involved with siphoning the gas; if I can make my own system. I'll research this!

you kill me yes it just like chugging a can of coke except you could die........

 

[gerald1488]

???

 

[alwaysFlOoReD]

I was able to remove the air cond. with-out losing gas but what a pita.

It would have helped lifting out with a second set of hands

well, it wasn't that bad, the hardest part was finding the bolts that hold on the plastic shroud to the fire wall. the plastic fender has to be removed to access 2 bolts, one of you can't see without a mirror.

[rngrdanny22]

[West]

That's pretty amazing. Didn't think it could be done. Kudos to you. Now try to do it on a more modern vehicle from the 2000s, then I would be utmost speechless. lol

 

[badinten]

lol see the thing thats killin me is your going to set that down out of the way and the gas will over time be useless even when the ac is not used the gas goes bad over time now ether that or some one drops something on your condensor and cracks the lines. on another note man you have patient from hell lol get er done buddy

Your probably right on all of the above but I was tearing it out anyway and I wanted to see if it could be done. If I was to do it again I'd have both vehicles ready for a transplant.
A friend said I could use propane as a refrigerant which is cheap ;D but explosive >. I might try it to top off a system.
