you remove everything and install an a/c delete kit. You will need a shorter belt. I have a brand new in the box Ford Motorsport a/c delete kit..$50 shipped. PM me if interested.

When I removed mine I took out my condenser, compressor, and lines and just got a shorter belt. It ended up working out great. But you might need the ac delet bracket. I did cap off the lines at the firewall so I wouldn't get anything in those lines since they are under the dash right now.

You will need quick disconnect tools. They're about $10 for the kit. Other than that, its basically unbolting the stuff and removing it.

Dont forget to have the system depressurized by a professional, because the gas is harmful to the environment.


Not to threadjack, but i have some A/C stuff in FL? PM me if you guys want my junk.

If your A/C works, think twice about removing it.

I'm still kicking myself in the arse for deleting mine way back. The 30 pounds is not worth it when i'm sweating my ass off in black leather seats in the summer

Only stuff you'll need is a new belt and the A50 delete kit from Ford

I have a complete A/C system off my 93. Everything worked great. The car had only 25K on it when it was removed. I live in NC.
