Who's removed their AC in their garage and how did you do it? Just pull the hose and walk away or what?

I'm not cutting out the box, just disconnecting it for now. The t-tops are always off

Mine was easy, no refrigerant left lol

Same deal for me, I never use it. Sometimes not I wish I did have it when I take trips (but how often is that?)

Best way to remove it is a refrigerant evacuation and recovery system. There are machines that remove the refrigerant, pull a slight vacuum, and recover it to a recovery tank.

Other way, push in the schrader valve until nothing else comes out (but watch your hand so you don't freeze it).
