Default EE8 AC to Non AC Questions

Hello,

Basically I am converting my EE8 from AC to Non AC. I want to know if I have removed everything correctly? And what's left is plugged into where it should be.

Some pictures are below to help explain.

This first picture shows everything I have removed except for the condensor which I binned but has also been removed.




















I am not sure if I have the fan in the correct plug? It's white into green fan plug. The only plug left was this white one after removing my AC.

Do AC and Non AC VTs' have different wiring looms? Or is it just a case of the AC loom being seperate and plugging in?(what I assume)

Not sure if this is in the correct place either. Again, the only connector that was left. Also, have I plugged it into a diode or relay? :roll:

I think you got everything. The a/c harness is basically a separate piece. Just make sure the radiator fan relay is still there, let the car get hot and make sure it turns on. I went through quite a lot of trouble to piece my a/c back together, why are you taking it out?

Thanks. Re Removal: I've never used it or missed it in 7 years owning the car. Removing it is saving me about 20kg in weight too.

Here are some more pictures of what is left. Can anyone confirm the wiring is correct? I don't want to fry anything.

Pink plug I have plugged into a relay. The white plug is connected to my radiator fan, which has a green plug.

These are the wires of the plug for the relay. Is this correct??

I had a look in the manual at the wiring diagrams but I couldn't make much sense of it.

As a Texan, the whole idea of what you're doing here on purpose is blowing my mind. :p You don't even use the AC to defrost your windows when it's rainy? As I understand, you all get a LOT of rain over there. My Civic will literally not defrost without my AC compressor being engaged

Exactly why I repaired the a/c. Whenever it rains, the windows would fog so badly I couldn't see.
I don't know about UK cars, but as long as you have the radiator fan plugged in with it's relay you should be fine.
