      It was to greasy I think the compressor burst, there was hardly any oil in it, and heat marks on the rotor

    I cheat what you used a grinder on I use a plasma. I skip the time to drill a hole in it to drain but what I do is I always keep it upright at all time and leave it sit for a while. this way the oil is on the bottom Then when I do decide to cut them open when i have a few laying around and a cooler day, fire up the plasma i cut them open but i always keep them upright even when i pick them up onto my cutting table at all time and when i get the copper out then i drain the oil out from the bottom, no need for me to do that extra step of drilling a hole but i see why people do it when they lay them down sideways to cut them open with a grinder. as long as you cut above that bottom notch/ indent you won't hit the oil and drain it all over.
    I like air conditioners. I picked 2 up on a back road a few weeks ago. here they charge you $20or $25 to throw them away whole so they always end up on a back country road someplace when they are no good anymore. If i go someplace i always travel back roads and then i will usually use a different route when i come home. you just never know when you will find a fridge or an ac just dumped.
