RE: help! AC to non-AC

[Francois St-Amand <fstamand@cmltech.com>]

Here's what you need to do (did this last summer)

1. Get a crank pully off a rabbit without a/c
2. Get a water pump pully off a rabbit without a/c  (they are not the 
same!!)
3. Get a new fan belt

I do believe that you don't need to change anything about the alternator 
(good because they are 90amps - The cars without A/C came with only 65amps 
alternators)

Make sure you also remove the condensor.  If you are really into it, remove 
the heater core box and put one from a car without A/C (another 20 pounds 
less).
