Will be driving to Rochester tomorrow for my brothers wedding so I went ahead and changed the oil
Valvoline 5W30 Full Synthetic

and decided to try this as well

 

[Sleezer1533]

Was bored during my lunch break so I started removing the non-functional AC system

if you don't need/want the drivers side ac line, i'll gladly take it off your hands.

 

[Sleezer1533]

Could you be more specific?

Theres the high line, that one is leaking you dont want that one. The low line. And the thin one that runs from the condenser to the drivers strut tower and then to the firewall. I kept everything for this exact reason so whatever you need Id gladly send to ya, I was just going to scrap the aluminum bits anyway.

let me think. it's the one that goes to the AC compressor. i think there's only one. it's the longer one.

 

[Sleezer1533]

One Two or Three?

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

lol i think it's 2. i'll double check

 

[Sleezer1533]

Cool LMK. If you do before thurs I can possibly ship it thurs if we get everything worked out, other wise it will probably have to wait till after the 13th, Ill be practicing every day/night leading up to go to a competition for work the 11th to the 13th

Oh and I got the last of the AC system out. Still curious on how much is behind the firewall...

 

[Sleezer1533]

Want sure how I felt with the large hole where the AC compressor sued to be so I re-installed the bracket and cover. Gonna try this and see if I like it better

 

[Sleezer1533]

Washed and a quick detail.

Also got some new rubber fo free! Well...3hrs of digging free . 80% tread, never heard of the brand but free is free right?

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

[Sleezer1533]

Its the beginning of "white-ness"

Gonna do white wheels and white hellas behind the grille to tie em in

 

[ajkulish]

[sunkAlias]

Little bit of a long update here

Found this on my doorstep today:

Everything is great except the fitment of the flange from the header to the midpipe, you'd think they would use the same sized flanges. (Looks worse than it is though)

Also think I might PnP (or whatever you would call it in this situation) the pipes that face the exhaust flow, its pretty bad

Was going to get a new spring bolt kit but ... duh ... dont need one now lol.
However, I do want new bolt for the flanges that bolt up to the heads, rockauto does not have these listed. Anyone know where I can get these?

Also there are three O2 sensor bungs, I need to plug one. What size plug am I looking for and any suggestions on where to get one?

Got some supplies too;

Thanks to TheGoldenFist for the tip on the paint-able stuff, Ive used the same but spray form and didnt like the coat quality.
So probably coating them tomorrow

Gotta so some math and order wrap and ties as well
Then I can get these bitches installed and get that clogged cat out of there
