any words of wisdom for decompressing the air conditioning? I'd rather not blow my arm of or anything.

thanks

What?

Is the system charged already?

You dont have to take it off, and its more trouble then its worth.

i don't have it in front of me, but i thought it said to in the rave manual.....i also though it was bolted to the head.

Unbolt it, but leave the lines connected.

yeah that was definatly the way to go...didn't even unbolt the whole bracket from the heads, just unbolted the compressor from the bracket and the bracket (with belt tensioner) came out with the heads...thanks again for the advice...we were worried abot those hard lines bending or coming lose or anything bad, but everything went fine.
