Re: capping the a/c lines
System is completly drained (legally)...I have no intention of ever putting A/c back in...hasn't worked for over a year and a half...and I havent used it in 2 years...I just want to take everything out, but I still need my heat...I just dont want to cut these things and have problems later...

Re: capping the a/c lines
yep...Im not doing anything until I have everything and know what im doing...I do have the shorter belt on right now already though so...all thats left is the weight reduction portion...
So I unscrew these lines from both sides...on side is the canister, the other side is by the firewall? What goes onto the pipes at the firewall?

Re: capping the a/c lines
I'm doing the same to mine. Going to see if I can find shipping caps to just keep general crud out of the evaporator core. Could I ask what size belt you used and how did you route it? Did you use the idler or skip it completely?

Re: capping the a/c lines
Originally posted by LETZRIDE View Postso its perfectly safe for the evap coil lines to remain open? what happens if crap gets in there? anything?...I might take the evap coil out in the future as well...I know you gotta take out the heater core to get to it though, and cut something in the firewall to get it out or something...
