before you can remove the a/c and its belt you will need to remove the power steering and its belt,because it will be the way..you will need sizes.
-10mm combo.wrench
-12mm combo.wrench
-10mm socket
-12mm socket
-an extension for your sockets
-3/8 socket wrench
-pry bar
-maybe a trouble light just so you can see what you are doing.
for c/c,it'll be best if you disconnect the c/c cable that is hook up to your gas pedal.after that its pretty simple stuff,all you got to do is look for bolts and vacuum tubes that connects to the c/c.oh and dont forget to clog vacuum ports that you removed from the c/c. -
Why are you removing the AC unit? Are you looking for more power?Comment

Youll also need a non-A/C belt. Gates #K050375 / 5PK956 17mm x 970mm

Thanks guys! @tabaccord. Yea and my a/c doesn't work and I live in Seattle known for rain not sunny lolComment

See but I love having my A/C here in Seattle. Think, when it is pouring and you get into your car and your windows fog up, I just turn on the A/C and all the fog goes away, the alternative is to wait for the heat to warm it up. The A/C works way faster.Originally posted by WestSeattle View Post
Plus our 2 days in the summer when it breaks 90......... ya I still do not turn on my A/C.

Why is this funny? I did it when I was removing my engine and I didn't laugh. I just cut it.Originally posted by WestSeattle View PostMy Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!Comment

Once you cut them, disconnect them at the fire wall for a nice clean look.Originally posted by WestSeattle View Post
Now that i think about it the threads on the A/C lines at the fire wall are pretty close to a plastic pop bottle cap. You should try to put a cap over them to cover them up."There is nothing wrong with you that an expensive operation cannot prolong."Comment

He is imagining getting sprayed in the face with the Freon that is left in his lines.Originally posted by Jarrett View Post"There is nothing wrong with you that an expensive operation cannot prolong."Comment

What belts do you have that have freon in them? Is that some exotic method of cooling the pulleys?My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!Comment

Yep misread that one. I was thinking the AC lines. 11 straight hours at work.... Good indicator it is time to go home.Originally posted by Jarrett View Post"There is nothing wrong with you that an expensive operation cannot prolong."Comment

OP will regret getting rid of A/C. take it from someone who has been there and done that. it might not be this month, or the summertime, or even anytime this year, but i guarantee that one day you will regret it.
take off the belt and leave it at that. you'll thank yourself later when you try to sell the car.
IB4 i dont plan on ever selling this car!Comment
