    Not so sure about that first you better have a truck load to do for 10 an hour next is the cost of razer blades and there is some oil annoyance in the tubes and also some of the really oxidized ones the AL is kinda unsellable if you actually had a bucket of the white powdery corroded AL . Some weight of a CU/AL on some that are old is the grime caught in the Finns . Years of build up dirt and some oil stays behind i feel there is a loss of sell able weight when you mess with the old dirty ones. But yes when you come across a new soft AL that cut like butter go for it .Also once in a wile you will find a nice thick tube heat exchange (AL/CU) those are worth the time
    The AL/CU I also figure you need to factor the whole picture ACs are a bit time consuming - To me AC's are get the easy CU and go BUT if copper hits $4 at the yard then lets talk Moters compressers wire after all if you have CU/AL you have them also.
