Grrrrr...A/C has to come out

[quickangel93]

Ok this is a pain, i got a shit load of freon in there and my car dosent even have a bunch of stuff on it to move it to a garage to drain it. so how can i drain it. does like autozone have a pump?

[rudy1980]

is it r-12 or 134? are you planning to keep your a/c, what exactly or you doing?

[wed3k]

yea why does it need to be drained?

[F22HB]

If you need to drain it to take it out and not put it back in just take out the bleeder and stand back.... and watch as a hole in the ozone is created above your house.

hahaha ^

turbo is in da way. too bad, its in the atmosphere.

lemme guess. low pressure line. where it bends to meet the compressor. right near the power steering pump.

that bend is hitting the o2 housing on your 14b im assuming?

it happened to me, i had to end up filing the pressure pipe down until it cleared the o2 housing... your ac wont work well since youre bottlenecking the pressure hose, but if youre going to scrap it anyways, id suggest doing this. less work and whenever the AC system comes out, you can just buy a new pressure hose from honda for about 30 bucks and youll have functioning ac...

i had this exact problem, and it was the easiest option in order to retain both, plus once the turbo came out i could use a/c will almost no work...

or you can take an impact to the fitting on the compressor, and watch the shit blow up in your face.

its hard to see when your eyeballs are coated in oil... ask me how i know

well mike we all know your try everything out. im thinking of making a line so its out of the way of the turbo. what lines are good?

[LoDollar92LX]

when i had my dsm setup, i used a soft hammer and lightly tapped the line till the o2 housing didnt hit, and my a/c still worked fine

[oranger]

I just ripped mine out completely, it works great. ITs a two hour project to pull and its kinda fun plus the drivers corner up there is so much cleaner withoutall the wires and crap.

ditto but its not the dp for me its the atomospheric dump pipe. I hacked and filled it down. You will more then likely do what lo said or get a custom line built but not sure where you can get that done at.

But ya i just took a flathead and let it spray in the air while i had a respirator mask on and goggles and gloves

i believe you could use summits fuel lines and fittings, although i'm not sure how much pressure your a/c is at, i asked this same question couple mth back but no one didnt know how much the lines take

[rudy1980]

to answer your question on how to drain it, simply remove the tire valve thingy and stand back.

Now for the other issues. to keep your A/C you will have to bend the line or remove it and cut off both ends and take them to a hose/fitting shop and have them make you a custom hose. Make sure you get measurements for where the bends need to be. Thats what I did for my P/S line.

when you replace the line you will have to have your A/C seviced- Vacummed and filled.

the a/c has like 3x more pressure than fuel. so it would blow the line.
