Most refrigerant recovery machines are not mobile in the sense of tossing it in the trunk or back of a pickup truck and driving over to your house. However, there some portable units out there, such as a McMaster Carr PN 18035K6, but you would also need a recovery bottle which adds to the cost and frankly the setup is not worth the investment for your situation.
GH85 mentioned a negotiation with your local repair shop to bring their machine over; that's an option, or, if you had AAA (not the retired consumption group) you 'could' have the vehicle flat bed'd to your local shop and have the refrigerant recovered; and naturally have it moved back. Its all a matter of cost.
R&R of the ac hoses in the engine compartment, in most cases, happens with the engine in the car, however while you got the 6pack out of the box you might as well clean house and do the hoses then.
