This is for a 1988 Civic Hatch STD. (D16B1)

My AC has been running dry lately and has only been pushing basically dry air out of the vents. With winter coming soon to NY I figured I'd just pull the thing out, removing the weight and power take off of the engine. I'm going to be doing a ZC install before the winter's through so there's really no need for it. Plz no posts of "Why?" or "You're Stupid for blah blah cause I know everything."

Anyone know what this entails?

*FYI I may reinstall it into another car so non-destructive removal would be prime.

Thanks for any and all help!

 

you should leave it in for extra weight up front since you will be driving in snow, right?

The car weighs barely 2000 with me in it... i'm not worried about the less than 25lb the ac compressor must consist of.

I'm asking for an AC Compressor Removal How-To. Not a should I or shouldn't I thread.

 

wow thanks a lot. that's perfect!
