Do i need to remove all memory management methods in ARC-enabled project?

my app is developed with ARC disabled from the beginning, now i decided to take advantage of ARC techniques, when i try to convert the project to ARC i keep getting errors wherever release autorelease methods are exist, does that mean i have to dig into my project and get rid of any methods related to memory management? thanks

There are a lot of good references on the web that deal with automatic reference counting, e.g.

Yes, you are not allowed to use release, retain, or autorelease in ARC code. If it's too much of a hassle, you can disable ARC on a per-file basis as described here: How can I disable ARC for a single file in a project?
