ok my a/c is toast and needs to be recharged. I don't feel the need to bother here in canada as it doesn't get too hot and if does well I just take the roof off. So what all has to be done to take it off? Just remove the a/c and then all the line that run too it as well as the belt and pulley for it? PIcs would be awesome if anyone has them.:1zhelp:

Remove the lines, pump, condensor to clean up the engine bay and provide better airflow through the radiator. The rest I didn't remove

I did it when I had my engine out it was easy that way.

I don't have functioning A/C right now but I want it. Most days you can get away without it but every now and again I really want it. Like when you get caught in traffic on the 401 with the roof off. Can you say oven?

ok i started removing it today and boy having some trouble. I got the oil cooler off becuases I need to flush it. and got a few random screws off. Broke part of the condensor that conects to one of the lines so its fucked now and would leak everywhere so it coming out 100% for sure now. Looks like i might have to pull the intercooler out to get this damn thing out but that ok Intercooler could probaly use a nice flush anyways. anyone got any tips for getting this damn thing out?
