From memory, AC isn't ridiculously heavy, and certainly lighter than cast. (You could start with the Hopper and downpipe to get a feel for the stuff perhaps?)
Cutting is a big NO NO, that will create dust, and release fibres, which is the very thing you need to avoid. If you absolutely must reduce the lengths, I would break them, dampen down as best you can before doing so to reduce risk of releasing fibres as much as possible. Given you're not supposed to break it unless absolutely necessary, I was amazed when the Licenced Contractor I engaged to remove my old AC garage, smashed the thing to bits before loading it on his van!

I took out an asbestos soil stack a couple of months ago. The sections aren't that heavy and will separate with a bit of wiggling.
I did cut the pipe off at ground level, lots of water to keep dust down, and fitted a mcapline DC1 adaptor to covert to plastic.

Thank you, that is exactly the plan I think I am going to go with. Seems silly to excavate if not needed.
Personally I'd rather be exposing the rest bend and checking the condition of that, rather than still relying on what could now be a failed joint between the stack and the drain, letting water escape into the foundations of the house.... Provided it's not ridiculously deep anyway.
