i was reading some previous posts on this...

drain the system (please have some shop do this...yay ozone!)
remove lines starting at the firewall all the way to the condenser.
remove the condensor and all wires
remove the belt
remove evaporator from behind the glovebox and replace it with a block off plate from a non-a/c car

that should be it. it should all be straight forward once the system is drained.

i remember at hondafest last august you told me to turn on the a/c during my last run because i'd get some better control from it with the engine slightly less-powered.

good luck with it
