There's a whole boatload of safety concerns from using the necessary tools properly, proper PPE, Freon etc...

Check the 'Scrappers Hangout' section of this forum and click on 'Scrap Metal Videos' you will find several videos on A/C scrapping. I'd post a link, but i don't know how, and im to old to learn i guess. Or--i think u can type 'A/C scrapping' into the forum search box and find the same info.

Bottom line as far as the forum is concerned...your not supposed to do it yourself unless you are Certified in which case you then know how to do it. Don't have a Cert then you have to pay or work something with someone.
