Running an 87 Hatchback DX & looking to get rid of an unused A/C unit.

I replaced the radiator and while I was doing the job I started thinking about the unused A/C system.

I am the 3rd owner, I got it at 134,000 miles and she's just about to turn 150,000.

The A/C belt was already cut when I got the car in 2009, and the guy I bought the car from said the A/C was non-operational when he got it.

I never really cared before, but I'd like to drop the weight (just on principle) and make a little more access room for clean look and accessibility.

Can I just pull the system or are there any plates I need to install to block up holes left behind?

Also, I was thinking of pulling the A/C radiator and putting the "pusher" fan on my cooling radiator for a little extra draft in stop and go traffic.

Please let me know if this a dumb thing to do and how hard a job it will be.

Thanks!

 

I have the A/C delete pieces you need.

 

I read on thread at civic club that you can just pull all the parts & since it is beyond emission inspections (in Texas) I can do that until I can afford the plug parts.

Thoughts?

 

Just remove the compressor, and anything in the way... Does not seem like a big issue. I do not have AC, but the manual seems to show how to do it... Not too syre about the AC bracket, but you will figure it out

Thanks. I'll post back on progress & anything I learn.
