Are you deleting just the a/c or the whole system including heater?

Have fun with the freakin lines :/

All I did was take out everything associated with the A/C in the engine bay, plug the evap block holes, and call it a day.

i removed both the heat and ac, but i did mine in three steps,

First, i broke loose the lines that run across the engine bay on both end and removed those, i pulled the radiator cover off, and slid the a/c radiator out. Second step was to jack the car up and pull the compressor out, fairly easy. i belive there are 3 bolts that attach it to the accessory bracket and then another two that hold the metal lines to the back of it. (getting the back bolts was a nightmare, but i managed to get them) After everything is loose, it just slides on out from the bottom. I also have my sway bar removed, so you may need to unbolt it for more room, not sure though. Third, the hardest part was removing the box. There are several screws that hold the box in from the engine bay and several from inside behind the dash. I had to take my whole dash off, but at the time i also removed the airbags and all the duct work. If you run into any questions, feel free to PM me.
