Removing AC? How to reduce pressure?
Im thinking about removing AC. I have never done this before and need some tips.
1. whats the best way to release the pressure inside ac lines?
2. whats the easiest removal route? ac clutch first? then radiator, condenser, etc? is there a how to because i cant find one
3. block off plate that is usually offered in ac delete kit. where does this go and is this necessary?
4. does my defog not work if the condenser got removed?
thanks for the help!

Im sure any shop would just evacuate your system for not much of a fee. Your bascially giving them some free R134A. It only takes just a few minutes for it to recover.
IIRC, the way I did mine after recovering the refrigerant was to remove the lines, then the compressor and bracket. I didnt have to remove the radiator until I deleted the condensor and a/c fans.

Be careful doing that. Not only will you release stuff into the air that the EPA will hate you for but the refrigerant is pressurized and really cold! You can freeze your skin or worse depending on what part of your body the refirgerant sprays on, hope its not your eyes.

If you were to do it yourself(just saying) take off the small blue cap and there is a center pin just like a tire, if you put pressure on it with a screw driver or other item it will release the refrigerant. But to be safe I would take it to a shop.

Take it to a shop!? F*^k that next thing you know they're gonna tell you not to dump your oil in the storm drain.
What's the benefit of removing your ac besides the weight savings?
