Ok how do you guyz get the ac condenser out. I removed the two top bolts but it seems to still be in there good. Are there any other bolts I'm missing? Also, as far as swinging it out of the way I'm not sure what is meant by this. Where do you swing it out (I'm leaving the lines connected as the ac is charged)? Also do I have to take the front bumper off or can I leave it on?

I can't recall how many bolts there are on the 94/95 a/c...but I'm sure there are more than two...just keep looking around

By 'swinging' it out of the way, you can pull it up towards the hood and get some rope or similar and tie it up to a hole in your hood...you really can put it anywhere, just don't kink the a/c compressor lines to much or it could discharge if it breaks. They are pretty flexible if they are in good shape, just do whatever swings them out of the way. Throughout the install you may find it to be in one spot or another better...

You don't need to remove the bumper, just you will have to unbolt the a/c condensor (in front of the radiator and move it out of the way...it will then give you plenty of room to remove and install the old camshaft and put in the new one.

Good Luck!

Figured it out....I only had to take off the top 2 brackets. Once I unbolted them I tilted the top of the condenser towards the motor and pulled the rubber parts offf the top corners of the condenser. I was then able to just lift it out of the bottom brackets/isolators. Also, once I got it out..."swing it out of the way" made more sens...so all is well. Hopefully I will get the new cam in and have the front of the motor tightened up today. Should have the top end on and valvetraing adjusted by next week. OOOOh..I'm getting excited just writing this. No hopefully it runs ok without a tune..
