    Scraping a a/c unit is verry profibalie the first thing you should do is find out if the unit has been drained of freeon,the person should know that i can go into how and what you must do to draw the freeon at a nother time ok you will need a screw gun most units have 1/4 inch screws or 5/16 remove all screws of unit,pull the cage away from the base,you will need to cut the wires going from the fan motor,you should be left with the coil cut the copper line from the compressor to the coils,now get a half inch drill bit unscrew the 4 bolts and remove the compressor weighs about 60-80-lbs depening on size of unit house hold units are 2 to 5 ton thats the size of the unit, not the weight cut all wires tor and then place the base of the unit with the cage in your tin/sherd good luck
