"From what I hear" If you crack open the schrader valve on the suction line just a little, it will leak out without making a mess.
Rumor has it if you do that and start to disassemble the rest of the unit, it will be empty of freon and the oil stays in the compressor.
Also if you are carefull and not tip the compressor when you cut it open it will be a much cleaner job then getting that oil all over.
And a lot of the oils used are vegetable base.
