I believe that it is possible to remove the engine without breaking the seal on that system, but maybe not.
Does it have the shutoff valves at the rear of the comressor?
If so, cranking them all the way opposite of the way they are now will close and seal the system, then you unscrew the the fittings from the compressor maintaining all the chearge except the slight bit in the actual compressor.
  Probably less than the amount the guy that will pump if down will loose when he forgets to do it exactly right...

  Yeah, I try very hard to not dump freon into the atmosphere!  
  
   First thing I'd do is see if I could get that engine out without breaking the seal.
Second would be see if it has the valves, I believe it does.
Third would be to have it pumped down if at all possible.
Fourth, well, I can't think that hard so you'll have to use your conscious on that one :)
