Take it to a designated A/C repair facility to have it evacuated/captured properly.

 

your suppose to get your old freon or whatever it is that is in the ac lines pumped out.. the shop i go to it cost around 40 bucks.. obviously the shop you go to the people there dont like you.

The type of freon depends on the year of the car.
Older cars were R12, and then some time in the early-mid 90's they switched to 134a.
If it is r12, I would recommend converting to the new style. To do this, you just need fittings to fit on your A/c lines.

And what engine do you plan on putting in your car?
depending on which one it is, it'll decide if you need a new compressor or not.

 

i have a d15b7 .... im going to put in a d16z6 ... will i have to change the compressor ?

no a D-series are the same.

 

right next to my triple A they had an auto place... one of the guys there quoted me at 50 bucks... i found another A/C place... the guy said 25 bucks.

what you could do... is open the two plastic thingies (caps) on the A/C lines (nothing will come out)

get a long stick... and put a nail in one end ... in a way that if you're pointing the stick forward...the nail would be pointing straight down.

this is the tricky part - maneuver that nail into the place underneaeth the caps - and use it to "press the button." you're going to have to keep pressing it. when you start to smell it... run away...take a deep breath... wait for it to settle... go back and continue... if you can smell it - run... oh and make sure you cover your engine bay - that stuff can get everywhere...

 

If your car used to run r12 you have to convert now. At least here in Washington you cant even buy R12 refill.
