Is there a guide somewhere to removing the air con? I'm sure I've seen one, but just spent 20 minutes searching and can't find it.

u sure? i typed ''air con removal'' and found this straight away

That's the one :nana2:

 

Thanks dude. I read that about 2 days ago, and then just couldn't find it last night.

On your guide to removing the aircon, you mention that you should leave the stuff inside the green box. I take it that instead the connections can be cut right at the back where they go in to the firewall (at the 2 90 degree joints) without affecting anything else in the cooling system (the non-aircon bits). I traced the hoses back and didn't see anything else attached. I'm also guessing they can just be capped at that point and don't need to be looped together. Am I right?

 

(sorry, can't post attachments or it would be easier to explain)

if you can get to them, then yep you can remove them

You can remove the cooling unit from inside its housing too if you can be bothered taking the dash off.

I did it, just take it out then glue the housing back together and put it back in as its needed to channel the air from the blower to the rest of the heating system. Surprisingly heavy piece of kit.
