DO NOT breath in the gas!! older cars have carsonajenic ( how ever you spell it) gasses witch sit in the bottom of your lungs and you cannot get rid off!
its very dangerous stuff thats why you should take it to a garage!

it should be freee to remove as they will be happy to take your aircon gas as they wil reuse it.

i have before just cut a small hole with a hacksaw in the low pressure and high pressure pipe and just left it but that was on a farm with no one around.

Ok you have two service valves one is the low and the other high you want to use the low one this will be on the larger of the two refrigerant pipes, do not cut or drill these or you will fuk your a/c for future use ie when you have it regassed, john the leak detection dye has been installed to locate leaks, oh the gas being used on cars is being replaced in a couple of years with a greener more ozone friendly one .
