nonono, i work at lowes as well... but, delivery has a appliance haul off trailer. its where they put peoples old appliances when they deliver new ones. go to your store manager and ask him if you can get a piece off of a fridge in the trailer. bring some pliers and an adjustable wrench snip the high side line and get out of the trailer, wait about 5 minutes (best to do this on lunch break that way you can eat a burger or something while you wait for it to clear out... i know im gonna get flamed for that lol) go back after you eat, cut the other line (high side is usally a bit smaller then the low side) unbolt the compressor and remove it. simple ez and sometimes you can find a freezer/fridge that comes from the factory with a leak and isnt charged at all sitting in there (my case) that makes it really easy. but its a good place to find a compressor, just gotta keep your eye out for a newer looking fridge/freezer to get one out of.
