how to install cam w/o losing my freon?

I'm gonna swap a cam in my formula this weekend, but I'm too darn stingy to have the AC evacuated and recharged, even though it is R134. So, I'm wondering, how can I go about swapping the cam w/o unhooking any AC lines? Can I carefully bend the condenser out of the way? Anybody done this?
Or would it be possible to lift/tip the front of the motor up to install the cam?

I'm not a 100% sure about this but I have read in here that some guys claim to have been able to carefully bend it out of the way and then tie the condenser up out of the way.
