Since I'm putting a new radiator in I figured it would be a good time to delete my ac. I have the condensor, compressor and all of the lines out.Now I want to take the rest of it out by the firewall but it appears I will have a hole there If I take all of that other stuff out.

I read in another thread from searching about a ac delete box that you put there, Does anybody have any more information on this.

 

its not a fun job at all, you have to take the dash out if im not mistaken.

 

Billingsley Racing sells an AC delete plate for the firewall:

Thanks for the link Injuneer.

 

how complicated/expensive would an ac delete be in all? my ac doesn't work currently and i dont think it would be very cheap to get it recharged.

 

So far I've only payed $30 for an AC delete pulley and that plate is $60.

 

my friend has the delete plate on his 96ss its a real nice piece but i think you may be able to make one for much cheeper. Also can you link to the place you got the pully for $30 the best i can find them for is $60 and i need one bad

 

I bought the pulley from someone on this board for $32 shipped. Just put up a wanted ad or keep an eye out in the for sale section(these pulleys usually sell really quick).

 

The pulley is a GM part. Use the source linked on the "Where to Buy Your GM Parts" page on Shoebox's Tech Pages:

You will pay approx 1/2 of that $60 list price, plus reasonable shipping from those two sources.

 

thats like amputating your legs because you stubbed your toe. You can recharge your AC for under $30.

 

I've decided to take out my whole HVAC system since I don't drive it in the winter and I'll shed about 70 pounds. I'll take some pictures of it and let you guys know how it went.

 

id like to know the difficulty. and pics would be awesome. I deledted the ac but left the HVAC crap in there.

 

well i've survived the humid *** summer so far, i think i can live without ac. and if it makes me go faster then hells yeah!

 

It's quite a project, the whole dash has to come out.
Here is a link with some pictures
