Title: A/C Removal
Post by: Heavensheros on August 13, 2009, 10:31:00 AM

So i just finished removing my ac condenser pump and all the hoses and what not.

What can i use to plug up those holes in the fire wall where the pipe came off, also do i need to plug that plug back into where that plug was. and also let me know if im missing anything else or anything else i need to do.

i painted my dash but it was o hard to remove everything so i just taped and covered everything and it turned out great... when you replace the steering wheel let me know how you did that because i am dying to replace mine but everyone says its hard hard hard. let me know how it all goes.

so now tthat the ac is removed i was wondering do i need that box that is connected to the dryer/receiver behind the glovebox. also the wires that plugged into that box and the wires that pluged into the condenser and fan can i cut those wires and the cu the plug off that plugs into the dash ? or how can i remove all that wireing so its out of the way.

You can take it out but you need the piece that connects the blower box to the duct work/vents. Find a Capri in a wrecking yard with no a/c and grab it...or maybe even a BF series 323.

What exactly is your problem? I removed all the A/C equipment from the engine bay including the relays and wire harness. I did not touch anything under the dash.

Post by: Heavensheros on August 29, 2009, 02:38:00 PM

well under the dash there is a Box that was connected to the evaporator that sais nippondenso on it and it goes to part of the wiring from outside and i was wondering if i need that box ... from my manual it looks like it is the a/c control amp. and if i can remove this i can cut the wires that go from the outside engine bay to the cabin connecting this box.

and how did you remove the wire harness and relays cut ? or do they all come out somehow cleanly.

Title: A/C Removal
Post by: Gostlrs on August 29, 2009, 03:53:00 PM

i say as long as it is A/C only and does not use it for the heater...remove it

i plan on taking out all the extra stuff in the engine bay when i paint/replace my engine and plan on all the crap inside when i remove the dash to paint it.

you are ahead of me on that one
