So uh, does anyone know how to remove the A/C from a 95 Civic? Is it just unmouting the compressor, the fan, and the two hoses at the fire wall?

 

according to my hayne's manual (which lacks serious in-depth stuff, but is nice to have)
"The a/c system is under high pressure. Do not loosen any hose fittings or remove any components until after the system has been discharged." It doesn't tell how to do that just to get a grease monkey to DIHimself. So figure that out and then...

also the hoses and refrigerant/condenser lines

unless your livin' on the edge, it suggests killing the passenger SRS airbag while your up
under there by unhooking the battery, take out glovebox, and it will be in the upper-left
area of where the box used to be.it's wire wrapped in lume that only has a two-pin connector

anyways, I've personally messed around with it b4, it's pretty obvious how to unmount.

metal clips that look to hold the 2 halfs together on top and on bottom of the evaporator housing. just take a minute to look at it, all you'll need is a 10mm socket(deep sockets help the akward angle) a phillips head sdriver, and a flashlight to make life easier.

*takes a few panting breaths* anything else? out of curiousity, why are you wanting
to drop out the A/C anyways?

 

It doesn't go in depth because you are SUPPOSED to have a "professional" discharge the system.

 

Because the turbo manifold I want doesn't support A/C. Since it doesn't work, I might as well take it out while I'm swapping.

 

If you must remove the A/C just take it to a shop and have them recover the gas first, if all they're doing is recovering it will only take them 30mins @ the most. R134a and R12 (old gas discontinued) refrigerants ARE CFC's. If you must destroy the ozone layer do it with a straight pipe on the track.

 

My only problem with it is that there gonna charge me for something I can easily do.

 

They key word here is LEGALLY, not easily.

 

:werd: It is ENVIRONMENTALLY DAMAGING, hence the legality issue. Dood please don't fawk with our air. I'm still breathing it.

 

U also need the air box out of a Non ac car. If u put the box that had the evap in it the air flow will sux. And like everyone else is saying go to a shop to have it discharged. If ur caught it some pretty large legal fine to deal with.
