Default A/C delete guys

I'm in the process of removing my A/C now and I have two questions. What did you use to block off where the two lines went into the firewall and what size is the torx holding on the dryer bracket? Thanks

i asked the same thing about the lines when i took mine off but no one here could answer. i just so happen to know some who know some people who had me one custom made. just a little plastic block about an inch thick with the two holes for the bolts and two counterbored holes for the lines. good luck with that.

and i dont remember the size of the torx bit. sorry

So how about you have me one made? If I could get the measurements I could make one out of metal at work and have it powdercoated to look nice. Thanx for the help though

Why are you deleting half the a/c stuff? Why not take it all out from under the dash.
To some people a/c is dead weight even if it works, but you're taking out half making it not work at all and taking out only half the weight.

I'll buy your used low milage take-off A/C pump and front lines from the dryer to the pump. Just let me know.
