Ford racing AC delete is cheap as chips. American Muscle.com for parts and instructions. I had my AC drained by a shop. Havent done the delete yet. Saves some weight. I had never used mine.

Think before doing this. Your defroster will never work again and no one will buy that car. At least save the parts you take out.

I did not notice you already said what I did. I had a 92 GT and put the AC delete kit on and like a genius got rid of all the stuff. Then I had to source a condenser, compressor, and all new hoses. Luckily, I used a used comp, and condenser and they worked and held r12, and I sold it. But here in the Sacramento Valley, in CA it gets pretty hot in the summer and no one wants a car w/o AC.

I deleted mine and it was super easy..i used a/c disconnect tools i got from the autoparts store that only costed a few bucks..some lines eere harder to pop off with the sisconnects because of age but thats the hardest part of the delete..

The ac compressor has 3 bolts and thats it...the only thing is that ford racing has discontinued their a/c delete kit for our cars...youll have to just run a shorter belt, 72.5" i think, and find a picture to show how to route it..

As for the windsheild fogging, go to your parts store and buy rain-x anti fog. Spray it on the windsheild like you would if you were cleaning your windows, wipe away, and you wont have to worry about it ever fogging up.. this is what i do and when i was dding my car it would usually last about 3 months before i had to do it again
