After disconnecting my AC discharge line, did i lose all my freon?
So I was taking out my alternator and ended up disconnecting the ac discharge line and pressure was blowing out, after replacing the alternator and putting everything back together, the ac wasn't blowing out cold air and a weird noise started to sound from the engine area, what can I do to fixed this?
Thanks.

You have to take it to a shop and have it recharged.

Thanks, I have another problem, yesterday I replaced my battery and had the alternator tested, alternator tested good but after having the new battery installed, the battery light came back on, and sounds like the noise is coming from the alternator. What could be the problem there?

If you don't know how to do basic diagnostics, take it to a shop instead of guessing what "might" be wrong

Get an automotive stethoscope and listen to the bearings in the alt. You will have to determine if it's got good bearings or not.
