The AC is a moot point on this car, it's dead and with the condition of the car, it's not worth trying to salvage. So what I'm trying to figure out is if the system can be easily drained for cheap, and not refilled. The goal is simply getting the system depressurized so that I'm safely able to move the hoses obstructing the fan. I'm just trying to get the blower working again for defrost and heater purposes during the upcoming winter, the car is a beater and has been terribly treated during the last two decades.
