Why do you want to do this? It gets hot in Kansas City.

If you want to permanently remove the A/C BUT retain the vacuum for the Engine\Heat, then here is what you would do.

  • Remove Compressor, Dryer and Condenser.
  • Remove Hard Lines going to and from Compressor, Dryer, etc.
  • Plug lines going into the Firewall.
  • * LEAVE the Magnetic Switches on the passenger fender (these are needed for Heat).
  • * LEAVE the Evaporator in the dash, unless you REALLY want to remove the dash.
  • Remove the Fast Idle Actuator from the Intake Manifold and plug the vacuum line going to the Magnet Valve.
  • Buy Antiperspirant.

Haha Ive got the anti-perspirant for those hot days but I dont mind the heat, I just hate the cold.

My A/C unit was not factory installed and the Radiator whatchamacallit for the A/C is blocking my car's main radiator which causes high coolant temps.

The person who installed said A/C radiator did so with exhaust hanging wire. I also figure that I never use it and its just a hindrance on the engine sucking down alittle MPG and HP by being there so I might was well clear it out.
