Finished A/C delete

Didn't realize the condensor was so fricken big! Takes up most of the front of the rad.

Maybe I'll run cooler now.

The hardest part was disconnecting the line from the back of the compressor. It was ceased on so I had to cut the line.

Condensor, compressor, canister, brackets, and lines all weigh over 50 lbs.

Worthwhile mod.

Maybe if you live in Canada. It's a little too hot to do without it in the South.

For real. I'm in SC. I don't think I would be able to survive right now w/o AC.

Exactly!

When it gets hot you just drive faster.

BTW it got upto 37 C (98.6 F) degrees here last week.

It was over 91 F all week.

Its a 13mm bolt.

If you have headers its alot easier to get at from the top.

You can see the bolt and the tube right beside the first primary on that side.

Sell my car?

j/k I have all the parts, they are in the box with all the other parts I've removed I'd just put them back on if I sold it or give them to the next guy I guess.

My son or daughter will inherit my car.

If I were to sell it I could re-install it with new lines.

How are you hooking up your raditor baffle since it generally hooks to the top of the condenser and I belive (correct me please) that it is also connected to the condenser with a couple of push plugs. Please tell me how those push plugs go in (from the back side or front) I can only feel like there is one missing.

Also, any tips on how I can get the top and bottom baffle lined up so I can put in push plugs and what size are those damn push plugs?

Mine are missing and I want to put connect the top and bottom baffles.

Thanks much.
