need help removeing ac 1980 rx-7
right now my ac is not fully hooked up. don't even have the belt on it.
it needs to be charged. i dont really want to have it on hot days open windows and take the sun roof off is good enough for me. pluse getting it converted to the new gas ect is way to much money that iam willing to spend on some thing i don't need. can you guys help me out please with a cherry on top i tried the search but every time i do the site freezes up on me. my car is a 1980 rx-7.

GOT WANKEL?
Basically, you discharge the remaining refrigerant legally, remove lines going into firewall, remove compressor and condenser and you are done. Not too hard at all. You will probably also have to cap off a vacuum line that bumps up the idle when the A/C is on.

I say save the AC. It is a great feature and will help resale in most cases.

I removed mine a few years ago and am currently in the process of reinstalling it. Not so much for the heat, but for when its raining in the summer since you can't have windows open. To do the quick/cheap conversion it you just need different fittings (a few dollars at NAPA etc) to do it right you should really change the reciever/dryer and put new orings in and recharge it. It's not a terribly hard job, and walmart sells cans of r134a that you can charge it yourself with...

if you remove the rats nest, no need to cap off anything with it. I am not 100% sure that you even have to with the rats nest intact, but remove it anyways. Cleans up the engine bay a great amount.
