another ac removal thread

[Flyin Ryan]

I did a search.. but I need to know.. aside from the pully and none ac heater box cover, what would I need to delete the ac system? I assume I'd be using the same serp belt right?

also which is the correct pully?

P/N 10118713

or:

P/N 10115875

Thanks

I cant tell you which of those numbers is correct.

but i can tell you the correct part i have sitting in my shop connected to the old ac bracket just waiting for you to come and get it.

i wont be using it.....

You will also need a shorter serpentine belt. The non-A/C type.

soo aside from the correct pully and non ac heater box cover.. what all else will i need?

Its only 20 bucks to get the correct belt and labor is free since its already required for the pulley removal. Whats 18mm's between friends?

Re: another ac removal thread

ha, ok well what about the blower motor and such? with the none ac heater box cover can I just reuse the current one and such? Don't get me wrong I want heat.. I just want to give the ac system the axle for room and weight.

With AC - K060956 (95.6")
W/O AC - K060938 (93.8")

What Ed says is correct, you don't NEED the correct (non-AC) belt for this setup, but if you're replacing the belt anyways, get the right one. It will allow more tension on the belt and provide less chance of slipping or jumping off.

You have to swap the resistor assembly connected to the heater box and also lengthen the wires to make it reach the new location.
The axle can be removed with extreme prejudice.

Or a large quantity of explosives....

I respectfully feel your pain for not getting straight answers on this subject. IMO, the whole point of ditching the compressor is to make room. Leaving the bracket there is only half the job. Anyway, in regards to the blower motor, I had a hell of a time figuring this out on my own but did get it. I cant give any part #'s but Im sure youll get it. Go to the J-Yard and get you a non AC box out of an old S10 or 15. Clean it up paint it whatever. Dont forget to swith out the resistor assy. Now go to Autozone and buy yourself a 1980 Corvette blower motor non AC. I tried to get my hands on the S10 one but it was like 80 somethi8ng bucks and the Vette one was like 25. I knew about the Vette one cause I used to have a Vette that year and went out on a limb. Then get yourself the blower motor wheel. I recommend installing the box first and measuring the distance from the edge to the firewall. Then while youre at the store, put the wheel on the motor and make sure you have the clearance. I cleared by 3/8". Be prepared for crappy heat and really cold nights. Its not bad til it gets down to about 25-30ish. One night at around 0* I wa drving down the highway and my windshield started to fog along the edges. It was kinda scary. I posted once or twice if this was correctable but never got an answer. I dealt with it. If you need any further help PM me nad we can go from there. Oh yeah, I would use a sealer around the gasket area of the non AC box to get maximum airflow. Hope this helps.

ha glad to see im not special or something around here

Yeah I was gonna go with the rpm piece but I just don't have $200 bills plus shipping to spend on a dumby pulley you know.

Go to the J-Yard and get you a non AC box out of an old S10 or 15. Clean it up paint it whatever.

Yeah I purchased a non ac box and blower motor from another board member.. waiting to receive it so I hope it's all there.

Dont forget to swith out the resistor assy.

Now.. do I use the current (ac equiped) resistor on the non ac box? or use the non ac box resistor? Im thinking im keeping my current resistor right? Just moving it to the new non ac box?

Be prepared for crappy heat and really cold nights. Its not bad til it gets down to about 25-30ish.

Damn! that's when I drive my truck.. the thing hasn't moved much during the summer but on the cold nights it likes to be involved out on the street... well I'll deal with this when the time comes I guess.. I actually have a blower motor brand new from my 86 corvette.. damn thing doesn't work worth of sh!t and I too know how it feels to be driving and to have the fog on the inside of the glass start to freeze.. that will not happen with the sy. I don't care what it takes then.

If you need any further help PM me nad we can go from there

ha don't worry i'll bother you

Re: another ac removal thread

Yes you are correct in using your current resistor assy on the nonAC box. RPM's kit is very nice and I almost bought it but I am a room freak and wanted absolutely nothing on the left hand side of the motor. I am using a hygm joint setup on mine. Unfortunately I kinda have to fab it up but so far has only costed me $50. Just have a little welding to do and Ill be done. If youre not a fab guy and the tensioner on the left side doesnt bother you hten I highly recommend the RPM kit. JER's truck is what I am copying. When I looked in there and saw that setup I almost jumped out of my skin. I had been trying to think of a way to have nothing on that side of the motor forever. Like I said, I am a room freak. I startedd out on cars old school sitting in the engine compartment taking out manifolds nad whatnot. Bother away I am always here to help out. BTW, the little rubber tube to the blower motor will no longer work. I havent had one for a year and a half and have had 0 problems.

Re: another ac removal thread

Cool thanks for clearing that up for me about the resistors..

I know exactly what your talking about "roomfreak" but im gonna go with the pully setup first and see how I can stand that. I also looked over the thread about how Jer's did his a while back but I am hardly anything close to a fab type of guy because im lacking tools and time. I do however like to think of myself somewhat mechanicaly inclined only because i've down 95% of all work done to all my previous cars.. My first car was a 78 trans am which I gutted the engine bay and rebuilt the 400ci small block but that's another story another time.

Thanks for the help

Damn it! that's the only show quality piece on my motor :rotf:
