Hey all,

Wondering if anyone WHO HAS ACTUALLY DONE IT can tell me a little about converting an A/C car to non AC and make it look factory correct (at least at the firewall). I've been to the junkyard and found the A/C delete plate (stamped steel) but I don't know how involved this will be. is there differences under the dash? besides different heater controls, what will I need?

thanks
Clem

ITs pretty easy, all you have to do is remve all the A/C hardware under the hood and remove the plasic box holding the coil. To do this you must take two bolts out of the fire wall that are under the passenger side carpet in the front. Then install your new cover. YOu can use your old blower motor, though you will need to get a new squirrel cage to clear the firewall because the non A/C firewall cover doesn't have as much room. Wiring is all the same, just leave the wires off that connected to the A/C equipment. Then you can do like I did and modify your brackets so you don't have the hook sticking up in the air where the compressor mounted. That about it unless you want to switch out your heating and A/C controlls, which I didn't do. I don't know if you can use the same wires for it or not, but I think you could just get the new controller and mount it in the dash.
Hope this helps
