Basically just unbolt and remove everything pertaining to a/c. You'll have to leave the box on the firewall until you can come up with a blockoff plate for it. You'll also have to get a shorter belt. I don't know how much shorter though, because I have an electric water pump.

what did you do for a block off plate on the firewall? Couldnt you just use some 14 or 16 gauge sheet metal and cut a rubber gasket and rivet it in?
There isnt anything that needs to be capped or plugged? Just unbot and take it out? Also, what about the sensors? Do you throw any lights on the dash? Did you just unplug them and let them flap there?
I guess these little side effects are what I am wondering about? By using the intense AC delete bracket, I am guessing you wouldne be picking up any gains HP wise as you are still turning a pulley. You wouldnt really see much unless you run a shorter belt and eliminate one pulley from the equation?\'01 Mineral Grey SVT Cobra<br />-former F-body owner

Yes you can fab it up. Billingsley makes one for $60 but you can make it.
The sensors you can chase out if you want or you can just let them hang.
You will throw an A/C refridgerant code, which I deleted via HPTuners.
The HP gains will be minimal and not at all noticable. You will however lose 40ish lbs off the front end.
