Well when I was replacing my clutch, not too long ago i decided to remove the AC, I removed the condenser alll the lines, the drivers side fan, and I just took out the evaporator, (I still need to remove the compressor, because I dont have a belt yet), but I want to keep my heat since i live in minnesota and winter is coming up,


Can I just gut the evaporator and use the ousing around it so the heat will go where its supposed to?
thanks

I gutted it and covered the hole with the plastic piece and duct tape

you should probably leave the drain hole in the bottom though

 

thanks!!!

 

Man how did you get that out, there is so many screws?

I dont remember there being that many

 

Just wondering, but why would you take your ac out for a car your gonna drive everyday?

 

I will buy the evaporator if it will fit a 5th gen accord. I want ac fl is too hot.
Edit: looks like your just pulling it for temp n/m above statement.

 

I just took the evaporator out and reinstalled the black box/housing
that it was in. My heat works fine

because I never used it and itll lighten up the car a bit and i live in Minnesota, In the summer I just roll down the windows and open the sunrf

 

ive got antire AC kit if you want it i pulled the evaporator and dont need it anymore, ive got a few compressors and all the lines, all your gonna need is the housing around the evaporator which youprobably have, PM me if your interested

 

That is under the dash on the passenger side correct? Above the ECU?

The complete ac system weighs around 32lbs

 

Is loosing ac worth the big 32 lbs. I wich i had ac but i aciddenly trashed my evaporator. I cant wait to find someone parting out a 5th gen accord so i can get a evaporator for my car. I dont have the money to spend like 150-200 for a evaporator.In florida its a must unless you wanna show up every were with sweat stains on your ***** lol.

 

So thats like .01 second faster and a hell lot off your cars value? I dont see the point but to each his own.

 

Keep the evaporator in the kaa if you remove it you remove a critical link in getting air from the blower to the heater unit.

Blower is on the passanger side; followed by the evaporator; followed by the heater unit.

You obviously did not notice the fact that I live in minnesota,
Why carry around an extra 32 lbs, if you never use it, thats like carrying $5 worth of change in each one of your pockets, and never bothering to take it out, because your worth more with it
Plus modifiying your car in general is taking away from its value, and if i was going to sell my car Id sell it to someone in MN that wants a modified car so they probably would not want the AC anyways
this was my reasoning for taking out the AC in my car, im not just gutting out the car so ill run one tenth of a second faster in the 1/4, plus im going for a drag car anyways
