Im putting on my A/C eliminator pulley and in the haynes manual it says i have to get the A/C system discharged. How do i do that and why do i have to do it? is there a easy way i can do it? i have a 2.3 QUAD4. my A/C doesnt work so is it already discharged?
a quick reply would be helpful thanks in advance

if its not working its a good chance its empty already
there should be 2 pressure tap ports , kinda like a big valve stem , just push in on 1 if a heavy streamy fog comes out its full , if its kinda weak then your low
the lower the better , also dont breath it
Proper way, take it to a shop to be evac'ed. Owen's way, take car outside, unbolt the condensor/lines, and vacate the area for a while.

lol. chances of the cops showing up and giving you a large fine are slim to none, unless if you live next to a cop or neighbours that complain about everything then u got nothing to worry about.
I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, 'cover for me', Number two, 'oh, good idea, boss', Number three, 'it was like that when I got here.'
I had a friend once who disconnected a pressurised AC line once on accident. It sprayed all over in his face and stuff. It was pretty comical, but the R134A is toxic stuff, so I wouldn't recomend coming into contact with it on purpose.
thanks for the help im going to take the redneck way out of this.

I pulled the A/C condensor out without pulling the radiator, though I also cut the metal lines running to it, destroying it. I wasn't going to waste my time selling a used condensor though, so no biggie to me. I believe I just removed the support with the hood latch, if that much.
As for discharging it involved a small drillbit and the rubber line. Don't worry, it was an EPA approved method
. A/C delete pulley bolts up beautifully and I was able to slip the belt back on myself.
