A/C removal help on 94 corolla

[trancedcorolla]

Some idiot wrecked my car, and instead of putting the A/C back together I decided to take it out, since it would be a cheaper way to go.

The only thing left I can't figure out is, for the compressor do I take it out or leave it there? And what do I do with the lines coming out of it?

Thankfully the car is almost done, I just need to know what to do with that part of the A/C.

Are the lines punctured or not? If the lines are still in good shape then be careful, because usually shops have a way to remove the old AC freon because it is highly pressurized. If you unbolt a line from the compressor, it will blow freon in your face like an airbag going off.

I haven't removed a compressor as of yet just changed belts. But there will be a harness clip beneath the radiator, and after removing the belt just undo all the bolts holding it onto the block and yank it out.

Is it possible to just leave the compressor on there so I can use the same belt?
