Hey umi makes a block off plate that looks real good moght save you a day of fabbing.

send me pictures of your plate if you could. i still gotta finish mine. did you go from inside or out? i am probably gonna pull mine from inside the car and make a plate from that side just because i don't wanna pull the motor again unless i have to lol

This is UMI's.. http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo.../2114a_LRG.jpg

BMR makes one as well.

Speed inc also carries one thats $30 cheaper that UMI's. here's the link to it... http://www.speedinc.com/catagory.cfm...r%20/%20Safety

the problem is all of those involve removing heat...

i wouldn't do that if i were you like everyone has said, but its your car.

You can make holes for the water lines to go from the pump, if you'd like to retain the heat.

Those are niece pieces, but I personally wouldn't pay that money for something that's so easy to make.

Here's a home made example with a hole left to run the heater core.

that's exactly how i wanna do it. i just am too lazy to remove the motor again lol

I've read a few posts that people have been able to do this with the motor in.

I'm sure it was a easy to do.. lol

I'd be interested in buying the whole a/c system.. box and all if it's not destroyed taking it out

I'll sell it really cheap since I didn't have any future plans with it.
Since you're interested, i'll pull it out in one piece then.

The air blew COLD when I used it. Took the condenser, dryer, compressor and lines off less than a week ago.
