thanks...well first off the PS was not being taken out, i wanted it in the car. The A/C is a bit of a story, but i couldnt get the p54 bracket fast enough so i tried using the p30 one just to hold the compressor there until i could get it. Had trouble getting the compressor bolted up to it..decided to fool around with the brackets holding the ac lines to get more manouverability...one of those lines was the charge line (i was tired...hahaha)..and the refrigerant shot out everywhere...so its gone.

I've never understood the reasoning for taking out the p/s on a daily driven car (when it came with it originally)...**** using effort to turn corners!

thanks for the comments everyone, no flames yet..im waiting though haha

 

i'm not saying that you should've taken it off i just wanted to know why JUST keep the ps and remove the a/c lol and for flaming....umm your motor is slow should've went bigger and better

well you've now got the full story hahaha...the b16 is good enough for me, gets the car moving fast enough for my purposes...im sure i'll want it faster in a couple more days hahah
