once you have the gas relieved safely by a shop into a safe container you go to the auto parts store and find a alternator belt for your car without ac. very simple. they look up your make model year and then select the without ac option. then you can remove anything that runs from the compressor including the compressor itself

This is the "gas" inside the AC system, not the fuel for the engine.

well its illegal to release the refrigerant into the atmosphere but if you must just use an adjustable wrench to loosen any connection on the ac line then go inside and watch an episode of family guy while it drains. dont breath the refrigerant in.

once again this is illegal to do it this way. the proper way is to take it to a shop and have them remove the gas then take it home and remove the rest
