Hey there,
I'm in the middle of swapping my exhaust manifolds (to '93 chev ones) and intake manifold (eddy performer) on my '86 Silverado (350). I've had to remove the air conditioner compressor as its bracket's are bolted to the exhaust manifolds from the factory. I would like to leave the air conditioner off to keep the engine bay clear and avoid its complex brackets. Just looking to check with you guys if you've run into problems with this, particularly the climate controls - will my ability to use windshield defrost be affected? Thanks in advance, folks. BBQ |

Re: Air conditioner delete.
The compressor's absence won't affect your ability to direct air out of the various vents using the climate controls. It might impact the defogging ability during the time before the engine gets up to full operating temps. The defrost setting normally runs the compressor to remove humidity and increase the defogging of the air blown onto the windshield.

Re: Air conditioner delete.
If you want to clean up the firewall too, you can get one of these to replace your a/c box.

Re: Air conditioner delete.
I'm not sure if your going into the heater/ac box or not,but this is what I've done on a couple of my ac trucks.Most of the ac components were missing anyway,so when I replaced the heater core,I removed the evaporator & sealed up the holes where the ac hoses came out.I got way more air flow in the cab now,I didn't care about ac, but wanted a decent heater & it worked great.
