problem - Air con Compressor removal

occurs/started when - engine removal

personal situation - ffs.

Hey guys

Is it safe to just remove the two flexible hoses that go into the compressor, or will we die?

also, removing the aircon completely is out of the question, and is not up for debate!

thanks guys

You wont (as long as you hold your breath) but the atmosphere will.

not saying you should do it unless its pretty much out of gas anyway

cool, so minimal death and we just need to get the system regassed afterwards?

[Nikkojoe]

so why are the lines gettng removed? Removing the engine?

if so just unbolt the compressor and tie it up to the side

assume ur gettin rid of it. Undo the low pressure side, the side that freezes up when its runnin... it will go off with a bang. an it smells bad an u may turn green

Go to a mechanic. Get it de-comissioned (degassed). Pay the man not alot of money.

Remove all components.

Win.

I've done it the dodgy way before. Don't.

undo compressor and tie to the side if you wish to keep it. othewise jst open the bleed valve up and vent it at your neighbours or perhaps some small children that might be around

[70XIN]

yep, we'll move it off to the side, that was the original thought

cheers guys!

Oh, you're changing engines, not removing the aircon?

In this case, unbolting the compressor and moving it off to the side is the preferred method.

You win the prize.
