You have just gotten 'advice' from the most clueless ignorant god
forsaken excuse of a wanna-be hack that ever infested this forum.
There is not one single person here who will say otherwise. Beware.

Don't forget about Tony (his brother - the incompetent).

I spent several years as a HVAC installer. Most of the time, it's possible
to install a new furnace under an existing AC without too much trouble. Some
sheet metal work.

However, during a furnace install is a good time to clean the evaporator. A
good HVAC guy can pump the freon into the condensor, valve it off, and then
remove the evaporator for cleaning. It's also very possible the evaporator
will come out enough to clean it with the freon tubes still atached. It's
specific depending on your installation situation.

Painfully obvious you've never done any of the above on your own and
especially not correctly.
Maybe a belt sanding to the front of your face and not stopping till
it makes its way all the way through to the back of your skull.
Then a good skull fucking from an elephant should top you off quite
nicely.
