Ive had a similar thing happen to me before....I tried to get an condenser unit, evaporator coil and furnace form a house down the street. I asked one of the guys and he said something similar, "Its illegal because you have to know how to remove the gas" ok ok yeah sure and i left. Wasnt the first time ive been shot down by hvac guys. A few hours later his buddy pulls up in a scrap truck and they loaded it all up. I knew he was on b.s. I talked to the home owner a few days later when i walked my dogs and asked who was that guy who took your stuff. He said someone they know, and he said if he knew they were ganna give it away he would have gave it to me. Oh well, Way she goes.
Anyways, if he does leave it, call your yards and see if they have a complete ac unit price. One yard here does. Atleast you can still get mabey $10 for it whole. And if you dont, some bad apple will come along and scoop it up and you know whats ganna happen to it.
If you do strip the fan motor, thats alot of work for under $1 of copper. Those winding are usually pretty shellaced like blower motors. You can find more in change in a old dryer lol. Ok im done rambling for the day
