A/C Removal

I have a 97 civic ex with a d16y8 motor in it. I want to remove the A/C because the previous owner installed a new timing belt but never put the a/c belt back on so it is useless.

Question is, can I remove this A/C without having to have a shop take the refrigerant out, or can I let the refrigerant out myself and remove it...or remove it with the refrigerant still inside??
