So im currently dropping the engine in my 1995 firebird formula. While im doing this i have decided to go ahead and remove the ac completely to kinda clean up the engine bay a little because i hated the look of those hoses. So my question is can i just remove the compressor and all the lines and then just leave it like that? Or do i have to do some blocking off where the ac goes into what i think is a seperater radiator and what about where it goes into the firewall? Like can i just leave the holes open where it goes into the firewall and can i just removal that seperate radiator. And is it neccesarry for me to buy an ac delete bracket and pulley or can i just buy a different belt?
Thanks alot

 

It's an a/c condenser not a separate radiated. Just take that out too so you'll have unblocked airflow to your actual radiator.

Ok and what about the ports where the ac hoses used to go in close to the firewall? Can I just leave em open?

 

Yes you can leave them open. My car runs nice and cold without the condenser blocking the radiator as well.

 

I would consider plugging them. Looks cleaner and if you ever wanted to reinstall AC they'd help a ton. Worth it for a few $2 plugs.

 

Ok I will try my best to plug em thanks for all your help

 

An incomplete AC system looks just like that, something incomplete under the hood.
I used the BMR AC delete plate and really like the look.
Getting the evap and controls out from under the dash was a pain, but worth it.
I had lowered the car 1.25" with BMR springs, but lost so much AC weight it came up about half an inch.
