If you know any HVAC guys who might have an evacuator or a local shop 
that does AC. They can suck it out.
Also seal the hoses from atmosphere but it should still be evacuated 
before it gets recharged.
Other than that, don't aim it at your face when you undo the line.
I read that that stuff causes cancer in California.
You should move to Jersey, we just cut the hoses here and duck ;)
It doesn't cause cancer here.
