a/c removal hey guys im getting ready to do my heads and cam..... ive got a bunch of stuff to go on..... i was going to remove my a/c but im not really sure how to do it on these cars im trying to save a few pounds if anyone has any ideas that would help alot. also will the car run werid if i do remove the a/c or will it be fine...
The car will run fine with the A/C gone. What you need to do is remove the freon, the best way to do it is to get a set of automotive gauges and hook them up to the lines and 
get rid of the gas. Or if you cant find a set you could just pierce one of the lines with a very small nail. There is Oil in the system so make sure your prepared for that to come out. After the gas is out its just a few bolts.

if you did in fact pull yours off you should know you do not need a shorter belt. there is a belt that is just for the a/c, simply remove it. the serpentine belt doesn't run the a/c!

there are 2 13mm..bolts bolting the lines to the box in the Fire wall unbolt thoes. 3 10mm one to condensor 1 to canister unbolt 1 to bottom of condensor take radiator shroud off pull condensor out. Unbolt 2 15mm on the compressor from the top 2 15mm from bottom at this point compressor will fall 4 15mm holding bracket. 1 bolt holding canister bracket then your done 30-45mins

Hello, after you get the a/c pulled out we offer a delete panel to cover the hole up. You can get it bare, black hammertone, or red. Give me a call if you have any questions.
