Did you ever remove your A/C?

Took it all out today with the help of a coworker. Thanks everyone. Roughest part was removing the radiator shroud and fan and pulling the evaporator up and out of the grille. Took us 3 hours to remove and reassemble the front of the bay. I have an engine in there! Next the inside box and hvac controls in one fell swoop. They are outta there!

Do you happen to have any before / after pics?

I am ready to do this on my 74 Scamp. The problem is, I'm a noob and don't know if it's safe to just start unhooking the AC components, lines, etc.

I've read A LOT about removing the AC, but that kind of stuff never comes up.

Example - If I start unhooking hoses am I going to be covered is some dangerous liquid?
