    Do not take it unless you are one of the following:
    1. Certified to recover refrigerant.
    2. Willing to pay some to recover refrigerant.
    3. Have a yard that will take them as is and recover the refrigerant.

    How heavy would an AC from that be? What are you talking about? The actual sealed unit, the motor, the coils ?

    My yard takes the coils as Cu/Al mix and it pays better than separating it... especially when you consider time and effort.

    If you ever have something that large again and having trouble like you did getting the **** thing in, just spit of real good and will slide in easier then you wouls think. You can thank me later for the sound life advice.

    If you know what you're doing and you take your time, you should never have to spit on anything.
