The day you get rid of the a/c is the day you'll wish you hadn't! I use it sometimes when it is raining; those clever designers make it possible to link it to the defroster to direct dehumidified airflow to the windows to keep them from fogging up. Obviously, it also has conventional use in the Phoenix area during, ohhh, about ten of twelve months of the year.

At any rate, I'd make darn sure that system was empty before disconnecting any lines. Hazards include freezing one's eveballs, Freon burning with an invisible flame, etc.

Just follow my procedure outlined above and you won't have to remove the system. It'll go back together just fine and you'll forget all about it...Post up with any more questions and we'll all try to chip in from afar.
