I have a pulley and my AC system is going to be getting the boot very soon, but I'm worried that when I rip this stuff out whatever is inside is going to spray/leak out and potentially cause some form of harm. So what is the deal with this project? I was unable to find anything about it.

well the obvious is freon which can be very dangerous depending on if it hasnt all leaked out already

Okay.....so what can I do about it?

Bring it to an ac shop and have it evacuated. Depending on whether or not it is pure freon, they won't charge you. They can make a bundle reselling the stuff.


Freon isn't som much dangerous for you as it is horrible for the environment.
