    Yeah, High Pressured Freon will be released into your lungs.

    Google it or check Honda tech.

    ill help but i want your compressor...

    if your worried about parasitic loss just take off your belt

    if your trying to take off wieght

    pull the high or low line(be prepared to move back quickly)and have the car in a well ventilated area...it takes about 15 min to release(the proper way is to have it vacuumed)

    take the compressor off and close the lines(if your not taking them out)
    EJ1....sohc ride out

    You will need an 8 lb. sledge, the compressor bracket bolts should break straight out of the block after a couple of hits. Simple as that.
