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.

Re: A/C & Heat Delete. help needed :(

thank you sorry bout the bump.. im kinda new and didnt know about the 24 hour thing. my bad. and thanks for the input, and no this isnt a race car and yeah i would keep the heat but it doesnt work and all the ducts under the dash were removed (previous owner) NO IDEA WHY!!

and i obviously need to get a new belt right?

and while were on the subject of alternator brackets, there is a torx head holding the brackets on. anybody know what size torx that is??
