If you are certified, can't you figure it out on your own? Seems to me you merely vacuate the refridgerant and disconnect the compressor and all related parts.

Yeah I am, when you take the test it really isn't all that hard, I was wondering if there are any tricky parts to the disassembly like when I get underneath the dash or anything.
Guess I will just try myself.

Certification (at least where I am) only teaches how to safely handle and prevent releasing refrigerant to atmosphere. Nothing about servicing the system or diagnosis. That you have to figure out on your own.
I'm curious why do you want to completely remove the whole ac system. Even if it doesn't work it shouldn't cause any problems just leaving it all there for the next owner.
Well... under hood is pretty straight forward as long as you have the proper disconnect tools. to get the evaporator you have to pull the dash and the heater box. You'll have to find something to plug the hole in the firewall where the a/c hoses go through
