yup i took out my ac compressor but now im kinda stuck...

there a refrigerant line that runs up into the radiator! what does that do and how do i get rid of it?

also do i just leave the electrical switch unplugged?

RyanGT · March 6th, 2010, 08:16 PM

Yes leave it unplugged. And that doesnt go into radiator, it is a separate piece, actually in front of the radiator. Pull it out! Might need the fuel/ac disconnector tools.

sidewaysgt · March 6th, 2010, 08:19 PM

i got the discontector tools but i followed it out of the ac and it goes to a little oval shaped thing where i can disconnect it with the spring lock disconnector but the the line keeps going to the side of the radiator

im trying to find a picture ..... i might have to just take one

sidewaysgt · March 6th, 2010, 08:22 PM

but if i disconect it, i think coolant is going to leak out of it

RyanGT · March 6th, 2010, 08:28 PM

Yeah it will... I thought you already drained it? If your deleting a/c might as well get rid of all the shit in the engine bay, and lines that go to the firewall. Frees up a lot of space and weight. Drain it or take it to a shop that will (usually for free, they like the refrigerant).

sidewaysgt · March 6th, 2010, 08:30 PM

there is no more refrigerent i "discharged" the ac

theres still coolant tho

93hatch · March 6th, 2010, 08:32 PM

Pull the line out and throw it away, all that holds it in is a nut at the bottom of it, no coolant wont come out, coolant and freon dont mix in the radiator

RyanGT · March 6th, 2010, 08:33 PM

Nah man, your thinking of 2 different things. There is a condenser and radiator. The AC goes to the condenser, not radiator. They look like the same thing, do the same thing. But are for different systems. Follow the metal line.

sidewaysgt · March 6th, 2010, 08:37 PM

ohhh wow i just went to take pictures and i noticed that its really not connected to the radiator

sidewaysgt · March 6th, 2010, 08:39 PM

how do i upload images?

RyanGT · March 6th, 2010, 08:43 PM

Photobucket then copy the img code. Or html code, forgot which.

And told ya it is separate things

sidewaysgt · March 6th, 2010, 09:01 PM

thats a huge picture lol
my first picture post =)

anyways thats why i thought it might have coolant cuz theres green fluid coming out of the refrigerant lines

sidewaysgt · March 6th, 2010, 09:06 PM

so this picture made me realize it wasnt hooked up to the radiator

can i remove that without taking out the radiator?

RyanGT · March 6th, 2010, 11:21 PM

You are going to take out the condenser too. Im not sure, its been awhile. But im 75% sure you don't. I was replacing my radiator at same time so i had it out.

sidewaysgt · March 7th, 2010, 12:50 AM

i got it out! i had no idea the condenser was so big! its almost like having 2 radiators i didnt have to remove the radiator just loosen the radiator support brackets and tilt it forward a little to fit the condenser out.

with the condensor out of the way shouldnt the radiator get much more air flow?
