Nope, just start ripping stuff out. Watch out for flashburn if you deceide to let the freon out yourself. Also if you are taking the condensor out, you will need a pipe that connects the 2 hoses so you have heat.

you can take the condenser out of the plastic box it is in... then put the box back in the car.. it connects the blower motor to the heat stuff..

He is talking about the non ac insert that goes under the passenger side dash. Ryan

PS, Just try and take out the lines, fan, wire harness, belts, bracket, condencer, exc... If you have questions just ask. At least start, and see what you can do yourself first. Its easy.

Take it somewhere and get it drained, I used a valve stem remover on the test point and took the valve stem all the way off. That made just about the biggest mess I have seen, the entire car was covered in waxy foam.

Yeah I never did it and my heat still works good. I used a long screw driving to drain the freon, got some on my front fender.

I removed all mine except for the thing under the dash. It's pretty easy. It helps if you remove the radiator fans to get to the compressor. To remove the condensor just unbolt your radiator and push it back then slide the condensor from out in front of it. Most of this stuff was damn easy. I love all the space under the hood that getting rid of it frees up.
