AC condenser removal
Can i take this stupid thing out even if i still have the ac compressor? I have no free-on in the system so if i just removed the lines and let them sit there what would happen? Would i still be able to use the defrost? the reason is because my radiator is almost too big and it is a PITA to get in and out.

That is what i plan on doing. But right now while I am waiting on my new radiator to come in since the one i had started leaking after 200 miles, I am wondering if I can take the condenser out since it will be impossible to do with the new radiator in. Will anything come out of the disconnected lines when the motor is running? will it affect something else? Remember that all the free-on is gone already. I never even use my compressor whether it be a/c or defrost so why not just get the delete. The thing is i have to wait for it to come in and i would need to drive my car.

cool thanks, i just took out the condenser and now all you can see is the radiator and it looks like a huge intercooler lol. Question for ya though, i have removed all the lines until i see the one that goes into the fire wall. where did you stop with your delete? Where does the line that is going into the fire wall end up? is there a crapload of lines in the fire wall? I had to quit because it got dark.

so what did you end up doing with the sensors you unplugged? I have a total of three. One that actually goes into the a/c compressor, one in the passenger side rear corner that went into the little canester thing, and then one the one in the front passenger side corner down by where the bottom of the radiator would be.
