Actually been a while since I posted in this forum.

Yesterday I ditched my condenser and fan setup, some of the lines in the front of the motor, everything for the AC is going. Keeping the PS. I will post pictures this weekend of the progress.

Yea, its actually going to turn out to be a good amount of work. I am starting to get into it, took some brackets out of the motor the otherday that were all oxidized and painted them to clean it up a little. The only thing that sucks is there are so many holes in the rad support and I want to shave them all off haha. we will see...

Not sure yet, because I know if I pull the motor im going to want to do a motor swap....been wanting to for a while now. Just dont have the coin to do that yet. I may end up pulling pretty much everything around the motor to do it, and just leaving the motor in.

It doesnt affect your performance at all, if anything you will get gains. Generally your doing a big weight reduction up front as well in ditching all the ac stuff, and some people go ahead and ditch ps, and other things. Your just really tucking the wires away so they are less noticable.

A buddy of mine was talking me into doing standalone, whole engine run on like 6 wires...anybody do that?
