Another P/S & A/C Removal post.
I understand most of the things discussed in the other threads ( I searched ). However, I have a few questions.
Reguarding P/S Removal, there are 3 lines going to the PS Pump. You couple 2 of them ( I think I know which )... what do ou do with the third? Also, I've heard of of taking off all of the hoses, and putting bolts or whatnot in their place. Which is better? Just coupling the lines ( and doing... whatever to that 3rd line ) or removing all of it.
About the A/C removal, I have no emissions, no AVC. Can I remove the BAC now that the A/C is gone? Also, how do I bleed my A/C system??
Thanks

Actually, after taking most of the P/S and the A/C compressor off.... I put them back on.
They weight removed is surprisingly little. I was told this would drp over 100pounds.... I'd be surprised if it drops 50. It's really not worth it to be 50 pounds lighter to have to give the car hell to get in and out of parking lots ( I'm in college )

wait if your going to remove the a/c, you need to take out the condenser, and all those steel lines throughout engine bay, and get a manual rack its alot easier

loop the feed on a P/S rack, and it's almost the same; with one less turn lock-to-lock. Even still, if it's your daily driver.... just don't do it.

Eh, I'm keeping the bracket the P/S attaches to ( WOOHOO!! FREE A/C FOR THE POLAR BEAR!!! ) so I might as well keep the P/S as well.
