Two questions for you guys

I searched first so dont yell.

#1
I want to hook up a switch to my fan .. i knwo some of you have done it, pictures would be great.. i got a stock fan on a 85 2.8L. I wont need to upgrade my alternator would i?

#2
I wanted to remove my Ac cause it aint charged but i still want vents that let cool air in while its moving. If i remove the condenser accumulator and the pump with all the hoses and i turn AC on from the interior will air blow into the interior form the outside?

There is a relay on under your hood that is a fan relay. It recieves a signal from the computer, and will turn on the fan. Find that relay, and splice into the activation wire going into it. Rig up a switch to a voltage source, and whenever you turn it on... whoosh! It won't take upgrading your alternator since the fan will draw the same amount of power as when the computer turns it on.
I imagine that in Rhode Island you don't need AC too much, do you? I think that if you remove all the AC crap, then you would be doing yourself a favor if you don't plan on using it. If you turn your car on Vent, and turn the fan on, it will be doing what you are wanting. I would think it would be the same if you removed the AC stuff and turned it on AC.

Yeah ill try the switch thing in the summer im just researching on pics of them installed. As for the AC here in RI we have cold *** winters and warm *** summers but i dont plan on getting the ac recharged (which it needs)

Heres another question .. how do i get the accumulator off w/o breaking it?

I haven't noticed if the air blows w/the a/c delete on my car, but the fan can be manually operated w/it by just putting it on the a/c selection. good for those who race
