Is it that metal line? That's your AC line.

From the red thing, I'd guess it's the A/C line's cap.

It appears as they say, the lower a/c line that runs to the condenser. Id just pull the entire a/c out and get all that free space for yoru radiator...just pulled mine and now i dont even see 1/4 of the temp gauge

I think I gained the biggest cooling benefit from removing the nasty ancient cooked bird that was jammed between the radiator and condensor.

I have to agree, i was having cooling problems (3/4 up the guage on hot days) untill I removed the A/C condensor that had so much caked on crap air couldent pass through.. now I dont even see 1/4.

Yeah, I figured since my a/c needed a recharge id just pull it to free up space and such, did the same with my P/S. Ive gotten a cooler engine with more space for the important stuff....namely a supercharger kit when I feel that i need to do somethign with the huge hole that pulling the ac and ps provided

How about a 3/8" ratchet, extension, and a few metric sockets? Take out the condenser first and loosen the bolts holding the line to the firewall. If you break the seal on the line and let out R12 or R134a or whatever refrigerent is in there, you could be breaking the law, so avoid that if you can.

It's all in the haynes manual. Show us some more pics of ur UPS boxes, haha!
