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

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.
