removing Air Con unit

[Wayne]

Do what someone at work did, undo it by mistake and run like a mofo. 

+1 I didn't mean do it indoors lmao 

Your still better to get a specialist to drain / degass as required.

If your system gets a leak it degasses itself anyway.
So maybe just effect a small leak?

Thanks for all the advice peeps,
I think by the sound of it I'm not really gaining anything by removing it. 
May look instead into repairing it then if it's going to stay.
What put me off originally when it packed up was I'd been told its usually bloody expensive to repair.

When it packed up, all that happened was that when engine was running, if you turned air con on it would stall the engine. So I presume that would mean the compressor is seized & would need replacing?

Or is it something that could be taken apart & repaired DIY style?

Fit another compressor if needed, does sound like it or the clutch has seized.
