I have searched and have not been able to find a concise step by step on how to remove this thing. One question though. Is it possible to remove the condenser without removing the radiator, and if so...........how? Pictures would be fantabulous. Would love to see any engine bays without the A/C only Thanks yall.

i did mine like 2 years ago. never used it anyway and i think i needed a compressor. i took it out when i did my heads the fist time, so had the radiator out anyway. you pretty much just unplug/unbolt everything and thats it. oh, and you need the shorter belt too.

The radiator has to be out...and you'll need some type of fuel/ac line disconnectors.

there are 4 bolts on the drivers side of the compressor. also there is a bolt on the back of the compressor that holds the line on it (if i remember right). remove the compressor, then romove the line off of the back and proceed to remove the lines(you'll need the disconnect tools to seperate the lines from the condensor). after that you can remove the condensor if you want to.

Cap 'em, besides 95CobraGuys super-clean engine compartment, keeping water out is good.

Cali is pretty dry though, no?
