Just how poisonous ??

Don't do it Paul. Releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere is not only illegal (unlimited fine in UK) but utterly irresponsible too; I was told that 1kg has the same ozone depleting effect as 4000kg of CO2.
Any Aircon firm will come and capture the gas for a modest charge. This is commonly waived if you're having it regassed at a later date.

Thanks guys 
Meanwhile, I have found that our local AA will come and de-gas it for me.
and, while on the subject, I had decided to replace the Compressor mounting plate to (in my small mind) retain the block rigidity.
So you can imagine how gutted I was to find that a previous service 'technician' had ripped the thread out of the block, on one of the mounting Allen screws and GLUED it back in place

How anyone copes in a Cerb on a hot day without aircon is beyond me.
Hi William,I picked my car up on Aug 20 2005 and drove the 550 miles back in the sunniest weather I can ever remember.
Didn't know enough about the car to turn the AirCon on so I just wound down the Windows.
It has been my solution ever since
