Pulling engine...what about A/C

[vrinner]

I've never pulled an engine from a car with working A/C. Question is how do you keep the fluid from escaping? This is for my 86 1E that has the newer A/C fluid.

The only way to keep the freon from escaping is to not disconnect/break any of the hose connections. And hanging the unbolted compressor (with attached hoses) out of the way of the engine while it's being R&R's.

Like so....hard to see but has safety wire from A/C comp tied to top of strut.
