Default help! URGENT! URGENT!

ok, im stuck. these long tubes wont go in on the pass side without me removing the A/C canister. basically, how do i do that without killing myself or someone else with R134? should i even do it? i have one back up plan and that is to hack off the front most primary tube on the pass side along the flange, just separate it from the others and then piece it in. good idea? idk, there is already a stand alone primary, so i don't think it would be catastrophic, but i could be wrong and just **** it all up. idk. but please help! i have to get these done A.S.A.P.!!!!!!!

also, i do not have access to a lift. so dont tell me to go from underneath, my jack and jackstands are maxxed out.

i really don't know but i wouldn't see why it would be any different if you separated it on the flange since the other side is like that? I'm sure someone will know

awesome dude glad to hear you got that **** in...you start her up yet? now we just need a video

oh yeah haha if you put those wheel liners back in make sure that you use new snaps cuz i just threw mine in without snaps after i did the master cylinder/slave cylinder and it came out on the highway and has a huge hole in it now after it rubbed on the tire then flew off

videos will come in due time, i have to do the exhaust from the headers back and right not i'm going to a bar, because i ****ing deserve it.

the problem was that we couldnt get past the AC lines and canister, also, the truck wasnt high enough in the air to do it from underneath, so i took off the oil filter, unhooked a motor mount, lifted the motor like 2/3" and i just whored it in.
