<VV> A/C Question

[Jim Houston]

Be careful if the system is still pressurized!  Crack one of the lines 
and slowly loosen it -- if it starts hissing, look around and make sure 
there aren't any EPA Nazis around and let it leak out...  when all the 
pressure is gone, undo the hoses.  NOTE: SEAL THE ENDS OF THE HOSES - 
TAPE, PLUGS, WHATEVER -- YOU DO NOT WANT AIR AND MOISTURE TO GET INTO 
THE SYSTEM WHILE IT'S DISCONNECTED!!!!  Do the same to the 
compressor...  If you let the system depressurize slowly, you won't blow 
all of the oil out...
