Only redo it Original if that is what way you are going with your truck. There are Cheaper better replacements out there. I went back Original but haven't finished it yet.

Re: Remove ac components?

I'd rebuild the original. It's as good as the newer systems, may not be as efficient but as functional. If you believe you need empty space under the hood, more noise in the cab and foggy windshield in the morning then the newer systems are the way to go. If you like the way the original system looks under the hood and an ac and heater that works very good, then that's the way to go.

So, basically what you are all saying is I should one way or another complete the system. Not remove the remaining pieces.
