AC lines sweating?
Now that it's starting to get pretty humid up here, whenever I take the vette out, and when I shut her off, I hear a hissing sound, from water hitting the headers or exhaust.
over on the passenger side, I noticed that one of the aluminum AC lines is covered in water from sweating...even though i didn't have the ac on?
anybody else have this?
I'm assuming it's nothing to worry about, thought about wrapping the lines with some insulation, but I don't know if I'll bother

The suction line will condense heavily as humidity increases. Normal in any AC application. Oh, I just noticed you said you didn't have the AC on so scratch my answer. If the compressor doesn't run no condensation can occur so I have no clue.
