Okay guys. You may have noticed I am on a vengence on removing as much "dead weight" as possible. I haven't used my A/C from the time I got my car. Infact, It wasn't even holding a charge.

Anyway, I want to remove all A/C conponents, seeing how I don't even use the damn thing. What do I do with the metal pipe opening, the one leading to the firewall? Do I plug It up? Is there anything else I should take note on?

 

When I took mine out I plugged those openings up. i used the couplings from the pipe that was attached to it, by cutting the pipe and pulling them off. Then I put some gasket(you can buy sheets of gasket) inside the coupling and screwed it back on. It looks clean.

 

I removed my AC core, but I'm ****-RETENTIVE!

 

The most usefull tool I found for the A/C removal was tin snips. (seriously) Remove the coolant overflow tank, and stuff in the front so you can pull the condensor out. There's also the little tank with a looking glass at the front near the coolant bottle. There's also a condensor inside the car, pasenger side inside a black plastic box. BTW: The lines are under high pressure-blah-blah-can cause fatal injury-distroys the ozone layer-etc.....I wore safetly glasses and gardening gloves, but mine was empty.

 

How did you get a the condensor inside the carat the pasenger side inside a black plastic box. Through the Glove department?

 

I had to remove the glove lid, then the compartment. I cut all the lines going to it from the engine bay and then pulled out the box. Afterwards I put the box back in because there is a blower that puts air through there. I'm not sure if it relates to the heating system.
