Stumped in regards to retaining my A/C
I recently purchased a jdm D15B for my 1994 honda civic CX. Well, summer is here and i'm DEFINATELY going to keep my AC installed, however, where do i disconnect it from off of my old long block? Isn't it pressurized and dangerous to play with? I'm just wondering because i don't want to be stuck on this when i do my swap. So ultimately, i'm just looking for some help on removing my A/C and retaining it for my new swap, i don't want to disconnect some hose that's going to leak out all the refrigerant. Any help or links to threads will help!
P.S. I've BEEN searching for this.
- thanx

undo the compressor from its mounting bracket and just move the compressor aside.
4 12mm bolts holding it to the bracket then easiest thing to do is tie it to the radiator support so its out of the when when you pull your motor.

^^^ What he said. And if you're worried about it leaking or being pressurized (which I honestly don't know) You can have the system evacuated. I've heard some places do it for free, but it cost me $25 at a local shop.
As long as you're leaving all the lines connected, you should be fine.

as they said, take it off the motor and zip tie it somewhere. since a pic is worth a million words....you can see it standing up near my driver side corner light.

One more question, do i need to detatch the compressor from any pulleys or belts? Or is it strictly a bolt off and move out of the way process?

You're going to swap in a motor, but you don't know how to loosen the A/C pulley?
It's self explanatory, go look at your motor. (hint: theres a bolt holding the pulley onto the compressor bracket.)
