    i am taking my radiator out of my car and putting a new one in along with a new a/c condensor. well there lies the problem when i was taking my a/c condensor out i encountered many problems like breaking bolts and parts not coming out so now the question is....


    Should i take the a/c systme out and risk not being able to sell the car for much???

    or


    Leave the A/c systme in and try my best to tap the broken bolts out of the lines and hope that it all works good???


    any help would be greatly appreciated

    he stated that the bolts broke. it isnt nessecerly (sp?) low on freon.

    personally, with your car, i would pull it out and drill out the bolt holes where the bolt snapped. then tap them out with a tap. not like you have a convertable or targa/t-top.

    Sheeeeeit ~Thats Nothing...

    On My Old 240 my Driveshaft was Hanging from a Broken U-Bolt due to Bottoming Out, (Stripped the Floor-Yes Friggin Made Hole in Floor)... Guess How I Fixed It to get the car Home.... Yes Ziptie.

    I used 4 Zipties to Fix the Driveshaft and It Stayed Like that for Three More Weeks Until I Had Enough Money for Someone to Weld the Fabbed Bracket to the Floor then Mocked a Point for the U-Bolt... :roflmao:

    well its not that i dont want to do the work or cant its more the fact that i dont want the a/c but if i sell the car later on then it may be harder. but i have come to the conclusion that i will pull the whole system out and jsut say screw it and make a little more power w/o the compressor.

    yeah i know but i dont feel like replacing all the stuff wrong and i dont care if i have ac or not so it is already out and i thanks you guys for the help. also i got about 8hp by taking the compressor out so that always helps. and i could make it intoa track car if i wanted to later on. 3.5 swap twin turbo
