<U>***UPDATE 9/24/06***</U>

Got my AC removed today. The compressor is still on there though, it was being an *******. I'll have to get the car in the air and get it from underneath. Another day...

Here's all the **** that came out:



I also took out the relays and wiring that went to the AC. (Not pictured.)

 

You should be able to get the bolts from the top. I've never done an ef or eg from the bottom. do I need to show you how to do everything. lol

No, it's just that my 1/2" wrench was too big to fit in there. I gotta use my 3/8" and get an extension. But, I have no extension, lol. I'll borrow my gf's Dad's another day.

 

a deep 6pt 14 with a 3/8 will do the job

Yup. I just need an extension, lol. The 1/2" was too wide.

 

what are you going to use to seal the firewall where the ac lines used to be?

For a cleaner look, find a block off plug from an ED w/o AC. Looks stock but doesn't have holes for the suction/liquid lines.

I dunno about Cali smog tests. The ZC does have a VTEC version, but I have the regular one.

I think there's a rubber plug on the firewall that people often times use.

Ya, if ur numbers are that far apart, somehting is def. wrong. A leakdown test will tell you exactly what it is.

 

yea its getting really hard to start too. long crank times when cold and when its warm it starts fast

sure JDM engines are bar'd all the time. There are certain things that must be changed though.

 

I just installed a lighted toggle switch connected to my Rad. fan. Now I can turn it on whenever I want.

why?

 

Two reasons.

1) I can run the fan even when the car is off, so when i'm in line at the track I can cool down without having to get outta my car to open and close the hood and hold everyone up.

2) I have a sweet lighted toggle switch bitch!!! DUH!!!
