Oh, if you are using a window AC as you condensing unit. Do not cut the tubing. Let The HVAC tech do that for two reasons, first it is illegal to vent refrigerant (the tech will reclaim it) and, second so that water will not absorb into the lubricant during the time it is open to the atmosphere. Just bring the tubes from the chiller tube to the unit. Water will also freeze inside the system and clog the expansion device (cap tube, or TXV) so it is very important that the system stay sealed until the final connections are ready to be made.
