AC removal Q

I just received my Ac delete box and was wondering how to go about removing the AC. Is there anything special you have to do before starting the removal or is it just a matter of start unbolting stuff? if anyone has done this and maybe wants to give me a quick "how-to" id very much appreciate it.

do you know if the system still has pressure in it? If so you need to have it emptied properly.

im pretty sure it still has pressure, i think i heard once that you have to purge the system before removal? is this accurate and if so how do you go about doing that?

not sure exactly, mine was completely empty when I removed it. I think you need to bring it to a shop and they have the equipment to drain it in an enviromentally friendly way.

There's a valve on your line that allows for the system to be recharged. To empty the A/C, you could:
1) Push the valve and let it vent.
2) Loosen the A/C lines to the point where they leak.
3) Take it to a auto shop so they can extract it the R-12 and reuse it.
