Removing stock A/C

Got my HotRod Air in and I'm staring at a firewall right now...

What can I remove? There is a HUGE wiring mess from the over-complicated GPS head unit, alarm... and I think the A/C is responsible for a lot of the mess

Anyone have any pictures/info on what wires I can maybe cut and tape off? Just for cleanliness and shit.

Also, I am (so far) unsuccessful at removing the big black box in the center of the firewall, where the duct gets it's air from. Also on the front of it is a small box with wires going to it... not sure if it's a part of the A/C system?

Re: Removing stock A/C

Got a few pics:



Small box, wire harnesses go into the left side, do I need to keep it and the wires?
The big box... haven't found a way to remove it, maybe I didn't look hard enough... or maybe I should just use the dremel?


This was mounted onto the box I removed... wondering if I need it? Looks like a relay for something

Re: Removing stock A/C

Anyone?

Also, to remove the blower box, will I have to take apart the whole damn front end?

That last pic looks like the relay for the blinkers. If you dont have that in the blinkers wont work.

Re: Removing stock A/C

youd probly have better luck in the bagging section. pretty much everything from the back of the doors forward is identical in any s series.
