well I have to pull the AC Evap too because it is beyond discusting, and probably replace that if it isnt all expensive, and check the heater core, but then I have to have the freon drained which my mechanic friend will help me

Then you will have to buy a retrofit kit for R-134 to reharge th system.

Imo, It is more advantageous to just work with the evap hooked up.

Try blowing compressed air thru the vanes to clean it.
Have a towel behind it to catch the debis from it.

Does the A/C still work good? If not disconnect the lines at the compressor. There probably won't be much freon coming out of those lines. If the A/C is good work around it and clean the fins out. I would try some brake clean, should clean it up pretty good.

the ac works perfectly, i dont use it much at all. there probably will be a good amount of freon in the lines, I can have someone drain it for me probably. Ford will do it for a price, not sure how much....

If the A/C works good I would not disconnect the lines! That has probably still got R-12 freon in it. If you do disconnect it and lose the freon you will need to convert to R134.

You can work around the condensor changing a heater core.
