Removing my Air con. components.. Any suggestions?
Hey guys, I'm considering removing everything from my air conditioning system.. I forked out $70 for the refill R-132 kit and found out my air con rad is toast (4 foot white high pressure stream coming from the drivers side of it)
So, Since I no longer want to put money in fixing it, and I have T-tops, and functioning windows.. How big of a nightmare is it to just take everything off?? Is there a replacement idler pulley so I could remove the compressor? Would anyone be interested in the left over parts?

You don't "need" to, but I did - it makes the engine bay look alot cleaner.

I paid $28 for my AC bypass pulley from autozone. I don't know if there is one close to you but it got there in two days.

At summit, you pay for shipping so maybe you should consider that.
