its really simple all you need to do is follow the AC lines around the bay. then theres a AC condensor in front of your radiator that looks like a mini radiator that you can take out. then theres the compressor on the accessory belt but if you take that off you need a smaller belt. then take out the hard lines. if you really want it all gone you can take out the blower in the car under the dash. REMEMBER TO LET THE PRESSURE OF OUT OF THE LINES FIRST THROUGH ONE OF THE VALVES!!!!

1. Depressurize system
2. Unhook lines from condensor to compressor and back
3. Remove condensor and compressor
4. Done

^ Yeah, it does slow you down, but that's only when you're booking on it.
