The only legal and safe way to do it is to have a shop recover the refrigerant with an RRR (Recover, Recycle, Recharge) machine. Try your local community college if they offer a vocational program for mechanics... they might even pay you for the refrigerant they recover.
Take it to a shop that has ac recovery equipment.
A refrigerant (freon) is required for an A/C system to cool. Therefore, no, the A/C should not work is the freon is removed.
My complete question is "Do I have to discharge AC syatem or can I simply move out of way?" Shop manual says discharge syatem and remove compressor but somnetimest they Lie!!!
There is no AC "thermostat" If it is not cooling enough or properly there is something wrong with the system The thermostat for the GM automatic computer controlled Heat and AC system is behind a tiny little grill in the dash.
If a person is going to make changes to a car, a diagram can help them do it properly. An Ac system diagram on a 1996 Chevy Tahoe can be found in its maintenance manual.
Have an AC shop evacuate the system. Some shops will recharge the system after repairs and not charge for refrigerant, they just give you yours back.
take it to a shop that recharges ac and get them to charge it and check for any leaks in the system. probably be about 80$
For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.
Labor. Cost to replace ac com pressor in a 96. Cadillac debille
Remove the freon from the system with a reclaiming machine. With the system empty, disconnect the lines from the condenser and bolt in the new one. use new o rings as well. Pull an entire system vacuum, then refill the AC unit with freon.
Yes the 96 GL comes standard with AC.
Highly against the law to discharge ac . The ac must me evacuated with a reclaimer machine. Any auto shop or junk yard will do it for a reasonable fee.If the ac has leaked off by itself it can be opened, if not you do not want to release the cfc into the atmosphere $10,000 fine.
assuming youre talking about AC recharging, you should not mix refrigerants. if you have R22, and you want to convert to R132a, you should completely discharge your old system before adding the new refrigerant. it is illegal to discharge your system yourself, because R22 is very harmful to the environment. you should take it to an AC repair shop so that they can recapture and recycle the old stuff. then you can take it home and charge it yourself with a simple conversion kit.
