Default Any one know how to take the A/C out of a 97 coupe neon?

i gutted the inside of my car after the airbags went off and broke my dash and shattered my two door windows. i had to replace the sub-frame, and boy was that quite a job. anyway i need to get the a/c out and can't quite figure out how to do it, i will post pics either tonight or tomorrow.

Just start pulling out bolts and nuts. You have it gutted nicely, so it shouldn't be too hard to see everything.

Legally, you can't discharge the refrigerant yourself.

legally you cant discharge the refrigerant into the air....if you discharge it into a bottle with an anti leak seal you can(some shops do it)....but to discharge the freon locate the port and screw the bottle onto the port and the pin will depress and release it into the bottle or
