Isolating the AC Compressor

Rather than re-engineer the engine, I'm replacing the AC Compressor!

Is there ANY way to isolate the AC Compressor on a 93 Mustang GT?

Thanks, again!

In order to bolt the new compressor on, I have to remove the old compressor.
I was hoping to do this without discharging the whole system and creating a
hole in the atmosphere. Screw the hole and loosen the fittings... Arrrrr

you can get it emptied at an AC place. they will get all the freon out.
should be $20 or so. you can put plastic bags over the hose ends (lots of AC
oil inside)
When I put on the supercharger, had to rotate the AC Compressor about 6
inches, lines had to come off, so I took it to a place, they took out the
freon, I drove it home installed the supercharger, (rotated AC unit on new
bracket) took it back to the place, and then pumped it down, got all the
moisture out and filled it back up again, total cost was $70 from them. I
got a new AC hose built later. AC works fine.

I knew what you meant.. you're thinking of how a Central Air condenser
works, where you can isolate the gas (pump down) from the evap and lines...
sorry, no.

OTOH you cant do that on a Central Air compressor, either.
