Even working alone, it's fairly easy to lift the entire refrigerant system out of the engine bay as a sealed unit. So for anyone wanting to delete the A/C system: it's NOT necessary to vent the refrigerant. Just take it out & leave it full. If you plan to NEVER put it back, take it to a shop and let them recover the refrigerant before you toss the system.

A QUICKER & usually cheaper way to do this conversion is to find a '94-96 factory R134a system still sealed on a junk truck with the same engine as yours, and lift it out as a unit, including the underhood HVAC box, and the hood latch support bracket; and swap everything without opening either refrigerant system.
