As i'm about to remove the engine and it's aircon'd, what's the best way to clear down the system. My car has a non CFC R12 drop in gas replacement (rs24 IIRC). Do I need someone to recover the gas or can i just depresurise the system by venting it myself????

I accidentally cracked open an A/C hose when I took my engine out, by mistake of course. Then stood well back.
if you do accidentally undo the pipe and all the gas escapes just crack it off and leave it for as it takes or you can undo it fully and get covered in the oil in the system as i did only took a couple seconds to loose all the gas when i accidentally undid the pipes. i think it is acturely illegal to purposly let aircon gas into the atmosphere but how they catch you i do not know
never set your expectations to high that way you are never disapointed
as i need to get it regassed once the engine is back in and the compressor has been changed i might see if i canget the local guy i use to take it out then come back ina couple of weeks to re-gas.
it is illegal to just let the gas out , and its about 10k fine or a fairly hefty sentence ,gas can be recovered and used again , just make sure that you close the system back up so no moisture gets in. I know several engineers who have unused recovery machines in the vans
