A/C Removal

Hey All,

I have A/C installed on the car, I am looking to removed the whole system.

How does one properly evacuate the system??

Thanks

Paul

That's one of the few things you HAVE to take it to a shop for.

Re: A/C Removal

Does the a/c work? If not, you may have gotten lucky in this situation and the refrigerant already leaked out.

Yep. It should be cheap too. They'll just hook it up to their machine and suck it out for you. Takes 20 minutes tops. It won't be expensive.

Re: A/C Removal

yea a juk yard would probably do it for free atleast, they resell it out of old cars that come in.

like paying to recycled oil, bought as smart as paying to recycle a pop can.
