New Car, New Questions

Hey Guys I'm new here and I've been doing some reading but I figured the best way to find certain things out was to ask myself. Anyhow, I know you can take the AIR system off (not exactly legal) and remove the air conditioning pump. However, I have the 4 belt setup on this new car and I was wondering just how difficult all this could be. Also, is there anything else I can remove, I'd really like to clean the engine bay up as much as possible!

I only paid 500 for the car the way it sits so I have some spare cash left over to get this little project underway.

Much easier to do than the '88-up models.

As you noted, not legal (except for the AC compressor - no law against that), but it is easy.

I suppose if you leaked the refrigerant while removing the AC components that is illegal. But I doubt anyone would ever know...

True. But, if it has all leaked off already, no problem.

Re: New Car, New Questions

Thanks Guys, so I basically just take the pumps and the belts off and run two belts then? That is pretty simple!
