Even though my bus was from Portland, Or and did not have the air conditioning in it, it still had the evaporator installed (probably comes that way from the factory) and the receiver dryer. I gave both to a recycler that took apart the evaporator separating the aluminum fins from the copper coils-which he later told me was pretty labor intensive, but in the end got a decent amount for his labors (can't remember how much).
At my warehouse (it is a strip warehouse with mini warehouse units-I have the smallest at 1350sq/ft) we have a spot next to the dumpster that we put scrap metal. Every time I put something there it is gone the next day (including an old 6.5 Onan gen that was froze up). Good Luck, TomC
