Pulled out AC today

Well, I was workin on replacing my power steering pump and noticed that one of the AC lines was actually BROKEN. Well, I promptly disconected the lines and pulled out the compressor. I'll get to the condenser one of these days.

WOW, I'm still surprised about how much more room I have in my engine bay now. I thought it was good before, now it's even better. I have the driver side all cleaned up and lookin good.

Now all I gotta do is get my smogless headers so I can clean up the passenger side.

I doubt I'll get any pics soon cuz I don't have a camera, but it looks sweet!

My AC never worked in the car the past 4 years, I'm used to the 260 AC (two windows down and 60 MPH). I just now got around to pulling the parts out of the bay.
