Re: how can i delete a/c without loosing blower?

on my car, all i just took all of the components out (compressor, condenser, accumulator, all the lines) and left the AC blower on. that was about 3 years ago and everything still works great- the heater, vent, and defroster. i even kept the AC dash control panel, i just don't put it on the AC settings.

Re: how can i delete a/c without loosing blower?

The item you mention with the 3 coils is a resistor, this controls the speed for your blower fan, so You cannot remove that.

The relay box is used to offer the high speed fan, which is also good to keep since it allows you to keep your 4 speed fan control.

You can do like I did, remove all the AC stuff, and put on the motal box and fan from a non AC bird or camaro and then re-use the aforementioned AC speed control resistor in place of the non ac car's resistor, doing this allows you to keep your car's stock wiring.

I also recommend you use the non AC heater box's blower motor assembly instead of your car's AC blower motor and cage, it's a pain to fit the AC motor and cage to the non ac box (lots of swearing, cutting, more cutting, ETC) and the screw holes don't line up right.

It's really easy to do, I think there was even a post about the delete process that helped me, you might want to do a quick search for AC delete.
