Go get it ungassed first. Then just undo the pipes going into it. IIRC. Can't fully remember though.
(Although if there is no gas in it and you are sure, then just go for it.  )

I used bolt cutters 
Cut the pipes (after safely removing the gas) but then again I didn't need to reuse it

you'll be fine venting that gas to air (mind the lubricant - oily substance). just do it gently.
after that just chop everything out and hope you dont want to reuse it! lol

you can let it out on purpose. R134A is used in aerosols and even airsoft guns!
its being replaced by HFO 1234 in newer cars anyway
