A/C & Heat Delete. help needed :(
okay so i KNOW that people have posted this crap before. i looked for an hour through the search engine thing and i keep finding bits and pieces of what i need.
full story. pulling out engine tomorrow (saturday) and replacing with another engine in like 2 weeks or so. i plan on cleaning my engine bay real nice and re-painting black. heat and a/c never have worked so i figure its a good time to pull it out, weld some metal to cover holes and use some bondo to fill it. i want to delete my A/C compressor as well. its heavy and in the way and looks like crap sittin on the engine. i dont want to use a replacement pully though. can i just put my alternator on the passenger side of the engine? what all can i pull out of the car? what wires can i cut? i want to delelte everything that has to do with a/c and heat. so what is everything?? sorry if this crap has been posted before but all the stuff that i found was for deleteing just a/c and keeping the heater. i want all that crap gone. soo please tell me everything i can toss in the garbage and how i can bypass using an replacement idle pully. thanks!

Re: A/C & Heat Delete. help needed :(
please wait more than an hour and a half before bumping a post, 24 hours should be enough.
Most of the wires that control the fans come out of a hole in the firewall on the right side of the AC box under the heater hose connections. They can all go. there is a hose in there too which controls the vacuum actuators for the dash ducting as well. I believe all the AC wires come from there too. There may be a few that go into the main harness that comes out of the passengerside fender. Just trace them out and remove then.
Is the car a race car only? if not i would keep heat, its nice when its gets chilly outside.
As for the alternator, with the proper brackets you can put it anywhere you want.
