had no trouble removing the ac with the ps in place, tbh the whole job is pretty noddy and you cant go far wrong.

im going for it next weekend

not gonna touch the thingy behind the glove box but what about that rad looking thingy below the radiator?

Wow. Didn\'t expect so many replies. Thanks for the info on removing the compressor, i\'ll give that a blast. The ad for the a/c was fairly easy to remove sickboy so i would recommend removing that, but remember to undo the pipes before you undo the 4 screws holding it in place, there is one massive nut holding the bottom piipe inplace, its 19mm so get a big spanner ready.

Get rid of the rad aswell. Big thing to remember, dont just undo the pipes and pull out, let them vent all there gas off first so crack the bolts slowly. Aldo av a pan ready just incase u get the residual oil dripping out.

oh when you vent the gas (which is illegal btw) dont have any naked flames or anything, e.g. a fag nearby. high temps turn the refrigerant into phosgen. it is also heavier than air so will settle below the car- recommend you crack open a joint (any joint) and then leave it for a while to be safe. 20 to 30 mins should be plenty, so go make a brew!

Im just trying to find a thread about removing the, whole air con section behind the glovebox as well as these parts.
 
I have removed the whole air con sys when the dash was off, now my blowers only work when i plug the air con matrix back in (the part behind the glovebox). is there anything i can do so i dont have to re fit the air con matrix. ie is there a resistor i can use? or just use the electrics from the part minus the rad that goes between the blower and the heater. im confused. ive tried a few things and blown a few fuses. also the heater still doesnt work even with it plugged back in, only the blower when i switch the heater to max.
 
This is a pain. if anyone can give some advice on this id be a happy chap
