To remove the A/C is cake actually-just takes a good amount of time and patience. The 2 hardest things to remove will be the condensor and evaporator under the dash (not required but a good idea anyway.
To get the condensor out you need to move the radiator back towards the engine. There are connecting tubes that you have to undo-one may need to be cut as that is the easy way-unless you take the radiator completely out. You have to take the AC fan off as well as the wiring harness for the system. As to the compressor-it mounts on a bracket and you need to remove the belt first-it is not hard to do once you undo the pulley bolt and then the tensioner bolt.
The 4 bolts for the compressor take a wrench easily enough. Then you can remove the mounting bracket from the block.
Under the dash is a different animal-you have to take the glove box and the cross bar out to get in there to remove the evaporator case. You can go to a yard or the dealer to get the piece from a CRX or Civic of that year that goes between the blower and heater housing. If you can find an HF without AIR like I did-I got this piece and the 2 rubber grommets for the firewall. (They can be bought from Honda). You can take the A/C wiring harness completely out of the car this way. The rest of the piping is easily removed with standard wrenches.
Took me a bit more than 1 hour to do everything.
Make sure the FREON is out of the system before you start.
