Gutting out entire A/C system
Saturday, June 02, 2007 2:42 PM
OK, so I've replaced my compressor with the bypass pully, and have taken out my accumulator

... so what do I do with the rest of the hoses, especially the one that runs to the rad?

... and can I just remove these and run the car without any rad leaks, etc?

or you can unbolt it from the a/c condensor. and also remove the condensor. It isn't ran to your radiator. There is another thing that looks like a radiator infront of your radiator. That is the a/c condensor.i have mine romoved. You need to take the black cover off. You have to remove your hood latch parts and then unbolt the lines and the condensor and pull out. easy as that. Mine is removed.

Are you guys "disabling" the air bags when you remove all the components of the A/C? They Haynes manual says to do so, but I'm not sure if they are flinching or not on this one...

What do you guys think?

I did,I followed the Chilton's manual and did all as said above except unbolting the lines on the firewall,I just cut them but all this is supposed to eliminate 20-30 lbs.

I unbolted mine from the firewall, sometime in the future I plan to reinstall the A/C, I put a piece of rubber in the hole and taped it to seal of the interior part so nothing could get in there. Hope this helps
