AC removal



Julie, the alternator needs to be relocated to the compressor bracket... in order to do so, the bracket needs to be modified so that there are threaded holes for alternator mounting bolts.  If you need a bracket, I have one, but it doesn't have provisions for power steering.
Here's my write up of everything: http://www.epix.net/~rhock99/tech_ac.htm
Hope that helps!
