how to discharge a/c?

[ShaneLT(ShaneZ26)]

Im gonna swap the a/c compressor from my 94 parts car to my 95 daily driver. But how do I discharge the system?

Let it out or reclaim it into a tank. A reclaimer will pump it out of a system but you have to have a tank to put it in. To be sure it's all out you will need some gauges. If you are going to do it right you will also need a vacuum pump to make sure all the air is out after you have replaced the compresser.

Can u buy small portable kits or...?

if you let it out and get caught its 10 years in fed pen.

let a shop get the freon out.

A reclaiming kit is expensive, just pay a shop to do it, after that you can buy cheap vac pumps and gauge sets to recharge it yourself if you want.

But 1 of the cars can't move.

just unhook the lines and run and come back in 15 minutes it will be all out, then buy a kit to refill it yourself. they are 30 bucks or around there here.
