Motor removal question
 
I am almost ready to get the engine out of the car and i was just wondering if there is a trick to removing it without losing all of the refrigerant in the a/c system?
any thoughts?

you could try removing the assembly that holds the ac compressor or the bolts that secure the ac compressor to that assembly never tried it myself but that's your only option

so just keep the system intact and remove the motor around it??

yes... just remove the compressor tie/prop it out of your way and take your time working around it. i would just let it loose and recharge it or completely remove it ;)

You normally leave the AC compressor in the car when pulling the engine.

Is going to leak at the seals becouse its not use to shifted around.
