Its not to bad of a job. The rear a/c just unplugs and the mount for it is just 4 bolts. The A/C lines run down the passenger side and are held by A metal clip. Remove the clip and you can lay the whole assembly on the floor of the burb.

The head liner is 2 pieces so just take the back part down and leave the front alone.

I used the old A/C mount to hold my axe and shovel.

Re: 73-91 Chevrolet suburban Video of the roof from the inside.

Does anyone one know if the non rear A/C trucks still have the mounting braces to add the system?

My 90 model has no a/c nor does it have the roof mounts for the rear a/c evaporator/motor assy.

Sadly no it's not. And just FYI, the front 9 inches of the roof section is'nt double layerd but TRIPLE(3) layered. I found out the hard way when iI was installing the GPS antenna lead on my '90 burb and broke the guide bit for my hole saw.
