After removing the 5th bolt, and a 6th bolt (this one just held the two pulleys together) I have been wiggling it since I made my last post, minus 3 minutes to remove the 5th and 6th bolt and it still isn't coming out.
Is there some technique on how to remove it? Pull down with all your might? Push up with all your might? I tried pulling straight forward with as much might as I could get via the position I was in, but it didn't eve budge a smidget.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Edit: A hungry stomach, some bloody knuckles, and a 7th bolt later it finally fell out. So, I guess I can finally say "A/C Deleted"
Now I'm working on getting the heater core and the rest of the hoses out and I will have a nice clear space in my engine bay.
Edit, Edit: I'm going to Waffle House, meet me there if you're hungry.
There is a bolt that has a ground wire and nut on the end of it. it is near the top of the AC below the exhaust manifolds. I had to use a wrench but you might get a socket to fit. After that it slid right out :tup:
Well, if he is making a race car then I understand it. If not, I do not. Even up north the summer can get quite hot. A/C is a good thing. What are you saving, 100 pounds??? Not at all worth it in my opinion.
me either my a/c is out and i wish i had it it does not do a damn thing as far as power goes and if ur so concerned about it just turn it off when ur gonna race it doesnt make no diff with or without maybe a lil bit but nothing noticible like nascar24 said not worth it. ull regret it next time its hot
in my case...it will be worth it, the engine bay room you gain alone is great.
Exactly, it frees up so much room and a good little bit of weight. I'm immune to hot anyways, it's the cold weather I don't like. Secondly, it's not my daily driver, and even when it was, I can't remember the last time I used the a/c.
Roll the windows down, you'll be fine. Might get to your destination with a little bit of sweat on your back, but other than that it's all good.
I didn't do it in the middle of the night, I did it after 4 this morning, so it was in the morning. :)
And besides, if for some reason I ever want to put it back in, I still have it.
Also, that ground wire.....................grrrrrrrrr that ground wire, that's what I got bloody knuckles from, trying to use a combination wrench. Dan is right, AIR TOOLS FTW!

So did you get the a/c delete bracket or a new belt? And if you want power that much you can just take ur belt off when at the track.

I haven't yet, but I will. It was a, everyone was going to bed, I was still awake and seemed like the thing to do at the time kind of deal.
My car isn't near ready to be started and driven around, so I have more than enough time to order the A/C delete kit from ZZP and all that jazz.
Edit: And it really isn't about the few hp you gain from it that I was worried about, it was the weight it eliminates and the free spaces it adds. I'm thinking about putting a mini-bar in all that extra room or something. :P
Mini bar cooled by your a/c? Oh wait!!;) Guess you have to cool the drinks with nitrous.:naughty:
