Default Can I discharge the air compressor?

The Haynes says discharge the air comprassor so I can move the it out of the way so then I can have enough room to remove the exhaust manifold.

Im realizing that it is far too late to drive the car over to have it discharged professionally, because the engine is taken apart down to the heads.

Can I discharge it on my own, I know I may not be allowed to discharge it on my own. But can I?????

Leave the pressure lines hooked up and just swing it out of the way. I pulled my motor out without discharging the system.

Wait a minute swing it which way? out or in? which bolts can I loosen? I started to loosen some bolts last night and heard some hissing so I quickly tightened it back up
