Do you have a set of A/C gauges? If so, you could hook them up
and crack the valve to evacuate it to the atmosphere. These gauge
sets are occasionally available pretty cheap from Harbor Freight. Or,
if you've got one of those hoses that come with some of the A/C
recharge bottles, you could use that. I'm not sure if that would
depressurize the high side though since obviously the A/C recharge
type hose would only have the low side connector. I've not got much
A/C experience unfortunately, but just wanted to throw those
ideas out there.
