I am in the process of removing my old blown 2.1 WBX and installing a Suby
motor.  Yesterday, I started to remove the AC compressor from my '91 GL
when I discovered to my surprise that there is still AC gas pressurized in
the AC system.  The AC hasnt been hooked up for a long time.  Is there an
easier way to discharge the AC other then what is in the Bentley manual?
Can I just crack open a pressurized hose and let it leak out in a bucket?
Any dangers?  Thanks,

Dave
