How would I go about stripping out my A/C correctly??
What should I seal it with?Trojan Horse said:Have the system vacuumed out to remove any freon, then remove and seal the components inlets and outlets in case you ever want to use them again.
Oh okay I wasn't sure if he meant using silicone or welding or what lol I appreciate it though its gonna give me a lot more room to workitsA4cylBro said:Black tape
It happens. Keep in mind when you disconnect the lines the inside of the pump is exposed to air. Once that happens it allows the internals to condensate which can cause it to rust. It doesn't take as long as you think.itsA4cylBro said:Ehh don't really think it happens. It has oil remember . Oil takes a very very very long time to rust
Yeah you are right '' oil will not rust'' but your internal components of the compressor will. I moisture in the air creates havoc on any HVAC System from a car size unit to a industrial size unit. Vacuum the system and cap off any pipe or fitting that will allow air into the compressor or remaining lines on the car. Plus it is illegal to allow Freon to escape into the atmosphere.itsA4cylBro said:Ehh don't really think it happens. It has oil remember . Oil takes a very very very long time to rust
We'll it doesn't even work in the car anyway so Im taking it out to lose some unneeded weight and have more room for my cold air intake. Thinking about swapping my 2.3 for my 2.3 turbo I got in my 88 thunderbird coupe since I don't drive it at all and build it from there93mstnglx said:Quick question, why do you want to get rid of your AC?
OK I get that I've thought of that before since my AC compressor clutch went out82StangRebuild said:We'll it doesn't even work in the car anyway so Im taking it out to lose some unneeded weight and have more room for my cold air intake.

Yea it gives you alot more room to work around stuff but still just a thought for now lol may act on it later.93mstnglx said:OK I get that I've thought of that before since my AC compressor clutch went out
