If you're just pulling the AC I don't think there is anything you need, (i also removed the heat when I did it). Just get in there and start pulling it. Make sure you relieve the pressure before you pull the lines.

The only thing you need to order is the a/c delete panel to cover the hole in your fore wall. Your right you don't gain hp but you drop something like 41 pounds.

Yep, if you just pull the AC parts and keep the heater hoses running from the water pump to the heater box the heat will work fine. Removing the heat is pita, AC is a piece of cake...

waterbug, did you have to take the evaporator out from under the dash or under the hood? so you just cut the box and pulled it out that way? never thought about that, the only thing i got left is the evaporator.

Evaporator? UUmm, what piece is this? Can you describe it to me.

But, I do know that all was done from under the hood.

interesting.. What is in that plastic box anyhow? I may have to do the same as I have all the rest of my AC components long gone but I still have to have heat. I like that being totally open on the pass side without that plastic box there.

Nice, This is perfect!! I think i will copy your set-up Waterbug.

Would i be able to use a small cut-off wheel to cut the box off at the firewall?

I just cut that bitch off flush with the firewall... There are some tab lookin things around the edge, I cut them off as well to make the cover piece fit flush.
