My AC compressor decided to lock up last week, and so I put on a short belt and bypassed the AC and the smog pump. So for a weekend project I thought maybe I'd get in there and pull put the compressor and smog pump off the car to get the weight out of there, since it sure as hell ain't doing me any good.

How hard is it to remove those 2 pieces? Any special tools needed? How much disassembly would be required?

Just want to get some ideas of what I'd be getting into before I start ripping into ****.

i deleted both as well, not hard at all. if your gonna delete the whole ac system (u might as well if your taking out the compressor) then u will need a set of the disconnect tools to disconnect some of the ac lines. these are the same tools used to disconnect the fuel lines.

Right know I'm just gonna try and take out the compressor, sometime down the road I'd like to get a new compressor and have AC again.

I think tommorrow I'll get in there and pull those 2 pieces out.
