A/C Removal

I am currently stripping down a 1977 XLT Ranger F150 4x2 w/ a 460 and C6. What is the most proper and safest way to dismantle and remove the air conditioning components. I want to preserve the coolent if possable since it is the old r12.

Thanx, JJ

You will need a vampire machine to remove the R 12. Do you plan to reuse the parts?
