Are you taking it out or just want to remove and replace? or what?

Either way it's pretty strait forward. What are you having problems with?

You don't have to go into the dash unless you want to take out the heater and such. I also assume your just going to throw away the AC parts. I just ripped mine out. it's a lot less of a headache than removing the lines the right way. I just kept the condenser.

Well with mine, I am pretty sure the compressor is going out and If I am going to spend money on a new compressor then I am going to want to just retrofit the whole thing. Meaning new rubber lines, dryer, compressor, condensor, etc. That just doesn't seem worth it when I look into my future plans of engine modification. In the end it may end up with A/C again but it'll probably be a bit different than the stock setup.

Just de-power your rack the right way or it will be 10 times harder than a manual rack.
