Well, it is encouraging from a functional point of view if the system has pressure. Maybe bad for the environment but good for the user. It means the unit is probably good and free of moisture. However, if the yard guys are doing their job, they should evacuate and recover the freon.
What I do is remove the compressors that look very recent using a 21 mm and 24 mm (sizes from memory, not for sure) box end on the hose fittings. At that point, escaping refrigerant is a done deal. I have had great luck with used compressors so far. 3 for 3. The rest, after teh two hose fittings, is the mounts, all 12 and 13 mm bolts. When you have the unit out, plug the holes to keep moisture and dirt out.
