My a/c system is not working and rather than fixing I would rather rip it out (I hate a/c). But how should I do that?

 

as far as your a/c systems, there are 2 main lines... 1 high, 1 low, the compressor, the condensor coil, the expansion chamber (i think thats what it's called), and a belt connected to the compressor. just do yourself a favor, before you get all happy about removing your a/c, take it to a mechanic and have your system evacuated to avoid pollution and health risks to yourself. all in a complete a/c removal should yield 50 pounds or more in equipment. as far as everything else, i couldn't begin to tell you, as i'm in the process of actually fixing mine, as apposed to destroying mine. and manuals won't be much of help either, as chilton's refuses to mention ANYTHING about a/c system components.. at least in my book. anybody got haynes? not the underwear, the book
peace

 

I have the Haynes manual, what do you want me to look for? I don't think they go into great detail but its worth a try.

 

basically, my chiltons doesn't even cover as to WHERE you would find the compressor, the second radiator for the a/c, the coolant lines or anything. scan any images you have if you got them, i was going to try and take pics for this exact purpose, but i just can't seem to get a digital camera on my hands at the moment. i've heard of a few people doing this, especially those turbo inclined individuals that needed the space for piping or whatnot. take a look to see if it gives an overall layout of the system.
