Correct, that vehicle was torn apart long before the video, and for reasons
completely unrelated. It just happened to make it very easy to get on film.
It’s easily doable without removing radiator/condenser/anything else.
I think I’ve read here that you don’t have to take the radiator out and
condenser? Right? You did this for video presentation, right. I really like
the video. It’s the only one on You Yube. Man, thanks for the video. I’ve
been keeping up with all of your videos. They are priceless!!!!
Does any body know if anytbing else is connected with the ac compressor?
Since they dont make a “no ac” serp belt for this, i found the same type
belt but about 6″ shorter, i wanna delete my ac compressor. Costs me about
15 hp and i never use it
The compressor clutch power feed comes from the AC relay, which is
commanded on by the ECU, which of course receives the request from the AC
auto amp (auto climate) or the thermo control amp (manual).
how to you change the alternator? any videos?
The only thing you’ll notice is decreased defroster performance, as it uses
the AC. An AC bypass belt appears to be the 360K6/25-060355/6PK890. FWIW
the AC compressor doesn’t take anywhere near 15hp, as it is no more than an
idler pulley when the clutch is not engaged, and the compressor is cycled
off when WOT.
Where does power wire from ac compressor to power the clutch go to
@m3thinking No videos yet. Alternator removal is easy, just a small space
to work in. Remove the belt, rop the compressor down (no need to discharge
the system), remove both bolts, power feed and harness connector, then it
comes out through the bottom.
dont you have to decompress the compressor first??
@ExpReSs0o8 You have to recover the refrigerant from the system first, yes.
Many shops will charge just a one-time fee for recovering, waiting for you
to do whatever work you’re going to do to the system, then evacuating and
recharging when you return. I wouldn’t suggest letting it bleed out into
the air, and the EPA doesn’t take too kindly to that either. If your system
is already completely discharged from a leak, then there’s nothing to worry
about.
@loxety And a bumper removal video may be coming at some point, we’ll see.
@loxety That’s my other car, still…under construction. Took the whole
front end down to replace the core support (you don’t need to remove
radiator/condensor to do so, though). Makes an excellent example vehicle
for stuff you can’t see on a complete car.
’95: 1.764 lbs ’96-’99: 1.43 lbs
How much refrigerants does it take??? Pound wise
