[RCSE] Never mind... Re: Air conditioner compressor for vac. bagging instead of fridge pump?

[Stuart A. Hall]

Never mind. I tried starting the thing and it won't start. It has some 
huge capacitor inside that looks rather scary, plus I'd hate to release 
the CFCs into the air while venting the thing.  Back to the curbside 
with it!

I just passed a sign for a free, working airconditioner. I looked inside 
 the unit by the side of the road and it has the typical plumbing for an 
AC unit. Anyone have any ideas whether I can scavenge the pump from this 
free unit to hook up to a vacuum bag?  Fridge pumps should be relatively 
cheap, but you can't beat free if it works.

TIA!
