If my car didn't use special refrigerant I would do this for sure.
Thanks for the input! I am not very worried about it either, but I wanted to discuss the possible risks as well. I guess my biggest concern would be if the condenser or a refrigerant line was punctured or damaged and the escaping refrigerant ignited, the resulting blowtorch could ignite surrounding combustible materials.
