I need to know the best way to disconnect the hoses so I can remove the compressor and condensor coils. The hoses run thru the right fender and I want to take the fender off for restoration. The car has been sitting for about 20 years without being run and I don't know if the system is still pressurized but I'm assuming that it is. I see what looks like two bleed valves near the top of the compressor where the hoses connect to the compressor. Is it safe to loosen them a little to allow the system to vent? Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tim
