Just finished a swap but I need some ac lines... I was wondering if in the meanwhile if I can drive the car without all the lines. I just wont turn the ac on i guee. The belt is still on the compressor. Will driving the car like this hurt the compressor at all?

 

anyone done this?

 

i did this before when i had my GSR i was just all over in the engine bay one day that i remember taking off the fan the ac lines all the way to the cabin but called it a day at that drove it the same night and the next day till i got another free day i say its ok for short period just get it done all the way and dont half *** it or ull always regret it hope this helped a lil

 

take the belt off from debris getting crammed into the compressor and jamming the inteal componets off............

 

It could also blow that compressor oil onto everything too

 

cool thanks guys

 

I would remove the A/C belt and cover the a/c line holes with duct tape. This will help prevent air/moisture from entering the system.

Don't forget!
You always replace the accumulator/receiver drier when the system is opened.
Replace the expansion valve/oriface tube.
Add refrigerant oil to the system before charging.
