Help Removing A/C?????
How do I remove the A/C?
I already unbolted the compressor but I want to remove it completed . I am pulling my engine so might as well do this. Never really used the A/C in the 2 years I have my FD. Do I need to depressurized the system. Any advice would help. Thanx |
Yes you need to depressurize the system.. the best way to do it is go to an A/C shop and have them clear the system...
I am assuming you cannot drive to a shop because you say you are pulling your engine. If this is the case..there are a couple of options...1) BUY a A/C replacement kit( the one that converts to the new refridgerent.) After you scavenge the old gas just stop and remove the lines.. Option#2) just unbolt the lines at the compressor and walk away for about 5 minutes or so..And hope no EPA people are around. Option#2 Is ILLEGAL. But happens VERY often. It is also very bad for the enviorment..but given everything else we( the world) does to it I don't think it's all that big a deal. But the judge may!! |
I just unpluged mine. It sprayed everywhere but I don't care. However you might want to put a towel or something around the hose which you unplug cause that r12 thing eats the paint.

Thanx alot
I disconnected one of the hoses and it started hissing and scared the shit out of me I will take it off today I guess option #2 will do |
I will pretend I did not hear you say that....:eek:

huero,
congratulations on a great mod. junk the power steering while you are at it. don't forget to trash the heat exchanger ( a-c radiator) that does a great job blocking all the incoming air to you real radiator. howard coleman |
What bout taking the lines of the the firewall. I've done all but that and i was just wondering how tuff it would be to get rid of those too?
|
Much easier if you take off the ABS heat shield first.
And yea, junk the power steering. |
Finally got A/C off. Took the heat exchanger off and all A/C lines except the big one to the firewall. There is no room but I will remove ABS shield and try again.
How do I eliminate (cancel)the P/S? more info Thanx |
