Motor swap without Disconnecting A/C

[manikbastrd]

Hey all,
Has anyone done a motor swap without disconnecting the A/C lines? I don't want to empty/depressurize the system, but have never done a motor without disconnecting it all. I am not doing this any time soon or anything, just curious if anyone has done this.
Thanks!

Yes, just unbolt the compressor from the bracket and set it on the subframe. I usually zip tie it up out of the way.

Sounds good guys! Thanks for the suggestions...I think she is still on R-12 which I am under the impression that it works a lot better...I know I will have to convert to 134, but don't want to until I have to haha
