accessing heater core for 4kq

["Aaron Peloquin" <Aaron@Peloquin.com>]

Help!!

I'm in the middle of working on the cooling system (hoses, thermostat, etc.)
and am trying to get at the heater hoses.  I figured I'll check the heater
core while I'm at it because I think its starting to go bad.

But the AC evaporator is in the way!  I've gotten all the mounting points,
and it's just hanging from the hoses coming in thru the firewall.  Now
what???  I can't move it out of the way.  Is there a way to disconnect it
without discharging the system?  I understand AC in principle, but not in
functionality.

TIA,
Aaron
