<VV> A/C Question

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 1. You MUST remove the refrigerant FIRST. Otherwise, you'll get a VERY unwelcome blast of VERY cold gas. Also, you'll blow the oil out of the system. 
2. Leaving the system open is inviting all sorts of moisture and other contamination. 

Leave it connected, otherwise you'll need to cap the lines VERY well.

Subject: <VV> A/C  Question










The vehicle I'm working on has A/C but it hasn't been used for at least 6
years - possibly longer.

 

I'd like to temporarily remove the compressor to give myself some more elbow
room. At a much later date I'll worry about getting the A/C working again.

 

Can I simply unhook the two large hoses going to the compressor or is that a
safety no-no?  

 

Regards,

Bob
