Before removing the compressor from a refrigerator or other appliances, you must 'reclaim' the refrigerant. This is done by connecting a compressor-pump on the access connection and pumping the refrigerant into an approved storage tank. once the refrigerant is out of the system, you crimp & cut the lines going into the compressor. There will be compressor lube in the compressor; don't spill it or let it leak out.
Will the 2001 Impala AC recharge if compressor is not running?
It depends. If the system is low on refrigerant then the compressor will not run until there is enough refrigerant to satisfy the low pressure switch. As you add refrigerant the compressor will cycle until enough is in the system to keep the compressor running continuously. A 1lb. can of R-134a costs about $6.00. It's worth a try. Might be enough to keep you running all summer depending on the size of your leak.
