I just change my plugs once every coupe of years. They are a PIA but that's the price you pay to stay cool. Seems like everything is a compromise when it come to automotive engineering.

Well TNT beat me to it, but I could sure use the compressor brackets if your gonna part with them and he doesn't want 'em. My advice is to keep everything. Most price guides have a 2000-5000 dollar bonus for factory A/C on a BB, and besides, I want cold air... Definitely better to work on with the evap and compressor gone, that's for sure :yesnod:
