advice/help removing AC so i got all the tubes n compressor out of the hood area but i went in under the passenger dash to get everything else out and now im in a rut. questions: do i have to remove the dash itself to get it out or is there a way to do so without having to remove a bunch o' crap? i probably wont continue with this till tomorrow but also when i drove to get gas earlier i could hear the vaccuum leak like when the car was idling it would make a hissing sound. normal? bad sign? anybody have any pictures (always helps) or hints?
much appreciated. (n00b)

Pull the dash if you are comfortable with it, its not bad. Bag the bolts. You have to cut the underhood portion of the hvac box off and then make or buy a delete panel. Are you keeping heat?

Just cut some of the plastic between the fan and the heater core so it will push more air through, stock it goes through the evap to the heater core for the most part. Bend a piece of metal etc to fit the small opening so its sealed off, use some rtv etc if you want, and enjoy.
