Dont use the search function or anything.

Have a shop re-claim the coolant and then just unbolt everything.

just a question, not to jack the thread, but....

im thinking about removing my ac, but in the rain there is no alternative to de-fogging, im wondering what people with ac gone do during the rain, becuase you can't open a window to far

you dont really need AC to defog. never had a problem with it, i just blast the heater, or any temp. air on it actually, and it works.

31c is about 88f. Dry heat is alright, but when humidity kicks it, that really sucks.
