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.
Someones been doing their reading.....thank you sirQuote:

Listen to Kz on this, you find out the hard way an it'll cost ya a whole lot of money.
AN I mean tens of thousands of dollars...fines are no fun.
