I dont think there is really a write-up because it is rediculously easy. Just anything that is A/C related...remove. If taking the evaporator out from underneath the glove box, you will need the accordian duct from a non-a/c model.

Though, the radiator had rusted mounts, so i cut the thing out with a rotary cutoff tool, lol

... I'd look at any engineering that shares p/s and a/c oil with a very strange face... Think about it...


Oh... that does remind me.

1) It is illegal to depressurize (part of removing process) the a/c in the atmousphere... You have to take it to a shop.... um... yeah so you do that.
2) When you do the illegal, be sure not to release the pressure all over at once or fear a flash-frozen face/hand/ect... that would suck wouldn't it?

Fortuantely my system was already depressurized (one of the main factors that made be decide to remove it)

just take it and have it done. we dont need everyone not only removing cats and driving their already rich-running car with no emissions, but also venting their a/c into the atmosphere. that and if you freeze any part of your skin, you're gonna regret being an idiot. i know i do. *waves with one hand*
