If you're removing any A/C components from your vehicle, you'll need to take it to a shop certified, and with the proper equipment, for working on A/C systems.

Normally I'm all about hammer mechanics, and doing it yourself. This is one thing you really should let the professionals handle. There's a LOT of very expensive equipment and specialty tools needed to do the job right, and within the law. At the very least, you'll have to take it to someone so they can evacuate the system, then you can try to muscle your way through the rest.

i was assuming a system 30 years old has been long depressurized. if thats not the case then its a different story - though most people would just disconnect the lines anyways

Unless there's an obvious leak in the system, such as a disconnected hose, I'd certainly not take any chances messing with it. That said, there are special tools to disconnect the hoses, anyway... So I'd still probably have someone else handle it. But that's just me.
