thanks for adding to the causes of global warming the release of refirgerant into the atmosphere is an illegal practice this is why they certify people to do certain jobs. i would not recommend doing this to anyone.Simply un-bolt the compressor and the powersteering pump and move the to the side and tie them to a spot out of the way.

The way to do it correctly has already been said. Unbolt the compressor from the block, you can even do the same with the power steering pump. That's how I did mine.


since we're all so concerned with the enviroment here one Evolutionm.net how about lets all just put our low flowing stock cats back on. I mean Al Gore Jr. here would probably like that.

That's R-12 that's illegal to spray out, the old AC coolant. R-134a isn't such a hazard and is "OK" if you accidentally let some out.

Granted, that doesn't mean I want to go draining my AC - can be a PITA to recharge properly if you don't have the tools for it.

My stock cat is in place and has always been in place whether I'm running a stock exhaust or a turbo-back.

The best way to deal with the a/c is to just unbolt it and leave the system sealed. If you do need to disconnect the a/c lines, the correct way is to take it to a recharge station and have them drain it for you.
