it's pretty straight forward, just pull the 4 bolts that the compressor uses to attach to the iron mount. unscrew or cut all the lines. the top two you take from the top side and the bottom two you take from under the car. the ac condenser sits in front of the radiator so you will have to take the fan shroud off and pull the 2 radiator bolts that sit by where the hood latches. move the radiator toward the engine far enough to remove the condenser and you're good to go. also, since you are new, please don't let anyone tell you that your car will be better without ABS if you own a car that came with it. removing it will increase your braking distance which makes the car slower on the road course and less safe on the highway, all for a couple pounds. the AC on the other hand is dead weight if you don't use it. i need to find a guy around my area wanting to toss his, i want a good AC bracket since my pulley broke.

I'm not sure and I wouldn't do it myself, it's a charged system isn't it? be careful if you do
