This weekend's work / A/C delete?

[Savage Messiah]

THis weekend my plans are:

Seafoam
Oil/filter (gtx high milage, fram filter)
Plugs (NGK TR55)/wires (Taylor 8mm)
PCV
Fuel Filter
And maybe drain tranny fluid.replace filter, but I think that'll wait a little.

Other thing is, I decided since I only use a/c 1-3 times a year, it's time for it to go. Can shed some front end weight, a tad bit of pulley drag (no noticable amount), and have more room to work in the engine bay.

I'll post pics

how are you going to do that? You just gonna nock a plug off and let it drain? Thats illegal as hell. Up here you get caught doing that you get a big fine and prob jail.

C'mon man.. everyone knows better than that.. also he's probably going to have John telling him what to do step by step anyway.

Fram.. eww. C'mon man, go with something a little more "top of the line." Let us know how it goes, I've been pondering doing the a/c delete as well. Just kind of been debating it because when it rains my windows fog like crazy w/o the defroster(since it uses the a/c).

[Savage Messiah]

see my defroster only works well using heat, idk if i'm wierd or what

Yea it's illegal but come on my dad used to (1950s till like, 95 or 99) dump his used car oil in the sewer lol. There is no way they will catch me either, or would know what I was doing lol.

http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums...ead.php?t=8901 there's a little bit of it... I doubt I will pay that 30 tho because then it's not a free mod, is it then again my dad has been flippign otu every time i say im gonan do !a/c, maybe if I do it environmentally safely he'll be a tad less opposing of it lol. oh well who cares

[Savage Messiah]

also if anyone finds 4.10 gears for cheap let me know... a friend guinea pigged it and the gas milage, cruising RPMs, and street friendlyness is nowhere near what people expected, they were barely affected.

I may have some 4.11's for you in the future. I plan to go down to some 3.73 in the future, some time next year when my swap is going on. Getting rid of the a/c help a little though. Made it alot easier to work in the engine bay. I never used mine either, so just got rid of it.

[Rally Sport]

I dont get it.. why did you swap in the 4.11 gears just to get rid of em later?

[Savage Messiah]

rally did that link help you any?

[Link85x]

I didn't swap the gears in there, i swap a whole rear in there from caliper to caliper. I need a new rear from the wipe out i had that day when it's wasm raining. The passenger side axle was complete bent, and explained why the cars vibrated really bad at 50mph and above. The 4.11 might keep, just gotta find out how much a traction issues i'm gonna have when i done with future swap. There where no issues with the 305, maybe not enough power, or tranny was on it way out.

[Savage Messiah]

The carrier and gears may have been damaged with the axle, have them checked out.

[Link85x]

Sorry, i mixed things up i guess. I got rid of the whole entire original rear end that came with the car, it was a pos. When you turn the axle arm with the lugs nut bolts manually by hand, you could see that the arm was warped. So got an entire 4th gen rearend, tire to tire, and everything was fine. Posi over the one wheel wonder is the best.

97, i wonder if the ac setup is simliar to that of a 3rd gen. The a/c compressor is really heavy, not what i expected it to be.

Which link? Also I cant check out any links while im on these damn computers in school.. What's funny is that when I try to click on em it says that its blocked because its under the forum block thing.. kinda weird because even on the main site name of AF it says FORUMS.
