T1 air-con removal

[sin-city_turbo]

A few people have removed the air conditioning units from thier city's. im looking to do the same to make room for a cold air box and new pod fliter.

its it just a matter of unscrewing the blots to remove it or are there other aspects involved?

any help would be sweet as!

In Australia it's an offence to let the gas into the atmosphere, has to be removed by a refrigeration mechanic. There is a relay/valve/something that adjusts the idle when air-con is turned on, not sure what you do with that.

The solenoid valve is the bungus added on looking one floating around by the firewall somewhere, very easy to remove.

EDIT: Yes bungus is a technical term

[sin-city_turbo]

so if you just take out the large hunk of metal, and remove the bungas ( ), it should be all sweet?

and if you remove the bungas, will the revs be return to usual?

cheers for your help guys!

Yeah its connected to one of the dash pot thingies Ill try and get a picture.

[James]

here it is, just remove the valve leave the wire bare, can remove the lines from the dashpot or remove the dashpot alltogether and see how its just teed into line 20? Just remove the tee.

[James]

just had a look at the vacuum diagram, block off line 20, leaving the bit attached to the engine side, and remove 23 alltogether. Have a geeze.

[James]

hehe its called a manual, and Im not afraid to use it

Ive started translating the crucial bits, the vacuum diagrams, wiring diagrams, error code list and stuff.
