Change a/c to no a/c
I have a stock six 1989 bird. I want to take out my a/c pump. I need to know how to plug up the hose that is connected to the radiator. Where can I get a plug?
Thanks

AC pump doesnt connect to the radiator. I assume you are talking about the condenser. No plugs that I know of.
Why are you removing just the pump? I highly recommended keeping AC.

Just noticed this is a v6.
First, the condenser is the aluminum fined piece in front of the radiator.
You lost me though. You pulled the A/C compressor off the motor in order to replace the power steering bracket. Then while reinstalling you cannot get the A/C compressor to line back up, so you want to leave it off and just run a shorter belt. Is this right?

What isn't lining up? Have you tried to loosen up the bolts that you have installed until you get all of the bolts started? Are you sure that you have the correct power steering bracket? Some pictures might help.
