Nope...Are you taking the whole condenser / evaporator and lines out? If your removing your A/C you should.

I just electrical taped my open ends off.

Your vehicle has R134A in it which is ozone safe and doesn't require a EPA cert to work with (R12 you have to get a AC cert).
As long as you drain the system without putting your hands, fingers or other digits in the direct spray of the coolant you will be fine to just dump it into the air.

I recommend draining it outside, not in a garage, then drive into the garage for tear down.

Yup, that would be your best bet.

They might not charge you either. Because they can then resell that freon to someone else.

There may be some PAG oil, and R134A, the only reason there will be any dye is if someone has checked for leaks or added a oil seal w/ dye.

In 1995 GM changed to R134A instead of R12, they sell refill kits at Walgreens for R134A now.

Put on some gloves and remove the cap from the low pressure side and use a screw driver to press in the valve to drain the system.

Why do you want to get rid of the AC again?

You can just put the other belt on and bypass the compressor, unplug the cycling switch from the compressor also.

Unless there is a reason for you removing the unit, I say leave it be, and put the belt on that doesn't use the AC.
