Pull it out

If the rads out already just folow the pipes back to the Bulkhead and you\'ll see two joints, Undow these and the Air can Rad mounts/any Pipe securing bolts and it will come out.

Just keep it handy incase you decide you want it back (for resale or maybe just like the idea)

[chrisJDM]

so i dont need it really, and the car willwork fine without it, jsut the air con wont work?? am i correct?

[Grizzly]

Yup, Just block off the two pipes at the Blukhead so you don\'t get Dirt from the Road in there and you\'ll be fine.

As i say you may want to keep it all in a box some where becouse people tend to like it on if you ever decide to sell it.

:xconfused

THis is not going well, i ahve looked at a few documents explainnig best ways to do this, they all say to use the stock bottom rad mounts, i ahve put it in place where these are and all seems way to close, doesnt fit very well with the fans back on, also how can i plug the fans back in the cable isant long enough.

You need to make some extension pieces off the standard mounting position.



Got lots of photos if you want any more ideas. Plus if you don\'t have the rad for the AC you can remove the whole lot, the bottle, the ac pump and all the plumbing back to the firewall. Removes quite alot of weight and the cars revs quicker too.

I re-plumbed the power steering line with a mini rad mounted to the back of the FMIC too because you have to make sure you don\'t just tuck the pipe out of the way, can kill the power steering pump.

Hope this helps

Plus the cables can be lengthened by stripping the plastic cover away and splitting the two plugs, still a stretch but there is enough cable.

Thanks for the help, i thought for a change im gona do summit myslef on the car but was too hard for my little brain to cope with lol, at least i managed the battery relocation with good results.
