So my car has a working AC system that I couldn't discharge when I pulled the engine. Now the engine's gone and I've still got a charged A/C system. What's the recommended approach? I'd feel guilty cutting good lines. Should I offer the whole system free to whoever will come get it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The R-12 can be reclaimed but cutting the lines isn't your best approach. That'll be very messy with all of the oil that'll come out with it. You could find an unused R-12 container and pull a vacuum in it, then use an AC manifold to vent the system into the container. California is so tightly regulated that you may not find too many home mechanics with all of the stuff needed to pull it off.
