right ok i think ill just fix it then as i dnt want be welding plates ect.

not that hard mate i did it with in 30mins take glove box out and take scuttle panel off and you will see all the screws you need to undo. also your gunna have to make a plate to weld over the hole were the a/c used to be as rain will get in

it is the pipe that comes out of the pump thats y i was asking about the pump. also i can only see one weel/pully cumming out of the pum that the aux belt drives but there is a pipe for the power steering coming out the same pump. any advice would be good as im abit lost.

how much weight would it save taking out the aircon aswell?

I have spare aircon pipes if you need them.

The aircon pump and steering pump are different.

basicly whilst i was replacing the downpipe i sanped off one of the aircon pipes when i got the exhaust manifold off.

how easy is it to take out the air con completely as its hissing like hell now one of the pipes is snaped.
it looks asif the power steering pump and the aircon pump are the same. are they?

what is needed on the belt side of things. im asuming the cambelt will not need to be touched but what about the aux belt as that spins the aircon/powersteering?

can u just take off the aircon pump or do u need to replace the powersteing pump to one without aircon?

basicly a quick step by step guide by someone who has successfully removed aircon before would be great.
