first things first you have to discharge the system...but...uhh...you "can't vent it into the atmosphere" &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;...then after that all you have to do is just unbolt shit. &nbsp;I removed the A/C on a 98 civic hatch...very easy.

Well, it really isnt that hard to remove most of it. Just unbolt the components. The compressor, condensor, and the other components in the hood should be pretty self explanatory. If you have trouble w/ any particular part, just post it.
Might have trouble with the evaporator unit inside the cabin, since if you just pulled it out the air from the blower would just vent out to the passengers foot. Id just leave that in there. Not gonna get in the way of anything anyways.

is there anyway to discharge an a/c at home.. DIY? my car doesn't run and its all stripped w/o a front end.. is that a/c refrigerant stuff toxic?

easiest way is to take out the dash, and then just remove everything underneath it. thats what i did. its like a tin can all hallowed out. woudnt have it any other way

im actually trying to remove the a/c system in the engine bay.. all the a/c lines are still connected to the engine. is there a way to discharge the a/c by yourself w/o bringing it to a shop?
