Default Removing Freon from AC

Does the AC system have a freeon release valve??? I am about to be removing my AC System from my car and since the car isn't running quite yet, and isn't my daily driver, I am not in the need of an AC system in the project car. How can I get the freon out without freezing myself, or killing myself?? Please don't attempt to give me any 'save the earth' speeches

there is a valve on the lines that run into the firewall, it has a valve like a tire, and a cap to match, just take the cap off and push the pin down, and there goes our atmosphere...lol..ive done it twice

thanks, i saw those actually when i went out after posting and actually pushed it with a stubby screw driver and about frost bit my fingers off, i am guessing freon is like liquid nitrogen when it comes out. got kinda buzzed too since the garage was closed up, but just out of curiousity... has anyone rigged up a way to capture the R-12 refrigerant that comes out??? That would be a good sale if I could capture it... without having to buy 500 bucks in equipment.

i just untightend some of the fittings on the top next to the condensor, and walked away. it would slow down so id open it more. took about 10 minutes. and no buzz.
