Well what you could do is...take out the AC evaporator. And then literally take the evaporator out of the box that its sitting in, reassemble the now empty "box"...and put it back in...so you will retain heating...but you will be a bit lighter without the evap...

Every ounce counts!

My evaporator is a bit different than yours. There are two different types. MANA and Nippondesno, but the processes the same.


Here is a good link that shows the rebuild process of a MANA Evap: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...photos-993467/

While you already have the dash out...might be worth to check out these two threads as well:

Oh one more thing...once you take the evaporator out of the plastic enclosure that it sits in you will be left with an opening where the evap lines used to go, make sure to close them up somehow so you don't have air escaping there when you turn the blower on
