Re: a/c help please
Unless it's already leaked out, it has freon in the system. Not enough pressure to hurt you or anything.
It's illegal to release the freon into the atmosphere! But, I'm not the freon police, and my head is turned.
Once the freon is gone (through your choice of methods), just a matter of yanking the components out. You'll need the A/C delete pulley to replace the compressor with - unless maybe there's a way to route a shorter belt - BUT you can only remove ONE THING from the serpentine system and reroute the belt - so if you are removing the smog pump as well, then you'll HAVE to get the A/C delete pulley. This is because any other way and you'll be routing the nelt in a manner that will not correctly rotate the water pump in the right direction (since a serpentine car has a reverse flow water pump).
Good Luck!
