hi, i recently bought a 91 Z28 with a 305 and i want to remove the AC because it takes up too much room and i wont need it where i live cause it rains all the time, so i am wondering if somebody could explain the steps i need to take to remove the system and any new parts or other changes that will need to made like fans, pulleys, belts ect. and if the removal will have any effect on the cpu any info will help, thanks.

 

Well i would think if it is allways raining you would have a better reason to keep your a/c?

Well you should do a search on the removal off the a/c, its done often.Its not to hard.

 

The only thing you will need to buy is an AC delete pulley. It bolts right in to the stock location (where the AC compressor was). You can get it from your local GM dealership or a place such as www.gmpartsdirect.com . The part number for it is 10055890. Removing the AC has no effect on the ECM.

The first thing you should do is get the system discharged from a shop. It is illegal to vent refrigerant into the atmosphere .

Now for the parts removal. It's pretty simple. The first thing to do would do is remove the lines. Then take the belt off and remove the compressor and install the delete pulley and put the belt back on. Then unbolt the radiator, slid it back a little, and remove the condensor. Then remove the receiver/drier (the round can-looking device). Now cap off the the two big lines that lead into the blower unit/heater box (the big black box on the passenger side firewall) and your done. You can buy a non-AC heater box from certain places, but they're hard to find and can be expensive).

I can go into for detail if necessary, if you need it. Just post or PM me. Also, since you're new, don't forget to use the "search" button before posting, just to be sure no one has asked this in the past .

 

Ok thank you for the info

 

what about the fans do those need to be changed because i noticed they sell non ac fans also?

 

I'm not an expert on dual fans, but I'm almost positive you don't have to buy new fans. I have never even heard of non-AC fans. Where did you see them for sale?

 

i removed all the AC componets except for the big black box on the passenger side and wanted to know what the wires are for that connect to it and when i get the non AC heater box if they will plug into that.
