Default Removing A/C

I have a 69 Coupe with A/C
But I would like to remove the A/C from the car. The engine is out of the car, so I have easy access.

But what do I need?
I've found a used heater housing case, and I assume I need the heater core also, is that correct?
Also what else do I need ?

Hi,

I did the same thing on my car. You should be able to use your existing heater parts but purchase an acdelete.com cover.

Check out this thread to see how it looks. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-on-79-a.html

I removed my AC from my 81 and used the acdelete.com 'cover'. It was the only thing that I could find. It fit up ok, with some minor filing.

Normally I would agree...but he lives in Denmark and if it does not get that hot there...then why have it taking up space for the few days a year he may need it.

Yes, I don't need an A/C in my car, and it will cost a lot of money to make it work. And since, as you say I live in Denmark, then no thanks :- )
And if I would go for A/C then I would buy a classic A/C system, and install in the car.

I agree....you trying to keep this system working with factory style parts can be quite expensive...and that happens to my customers and they live here in the U.S. So I can only imagine on how much more it costs to get parts shipped to you.

same, used 3m adhesive, the same stuff they use to attach the plastic to the inside of the modern car doors. Worked ok, may redo it as it doesn’t look very professional
