just about to do it.. got the belt, we will see if its the right one... 923mm 6pk i think. you will have to get the ac discharged unless its knackered already. as far as i am aware its just the pipes and 4 or so bolts on the compressor.

Just busy doing the airpump removal just now as well.
So far everything seems to be going pretty smoothly (famous last words), certainly opens up the engine bay a wee bit towards the turbos.
Was thinking about getting to the air-con as well, certainly doesn\'t seem to bad from what i\'ve read to remove.

The pulleys and belt for that came with the turbo kit. easily available tho.
