I've decided to go ahead with removing the air-con on my car as it's currently not serving any purpose. In order to remove it properly what would i need to take off?
I know the air-con compresser can come off easily as it runs off a different belt. The air-con radiator can come off with a struggle of removing the bumper. Is it just a case of then following the air-con lines and removing?
Cheers

No need to remove the bumper: http://shinny.co.uk/toyota/MR2_SW_1993_ ... ndense.pdf

I'd be interested in buying the air con radiator off you if it's in good condition and is the correct size for a Rev 2 Turbo.

Thanks for that link. That'll save me a few snapped bolts and some graised skin

I'm afraid it has disintergrated. Which is the main reason for removing it!

I replaced my condenser a couple of years ago for a new part. Tried that method in the BGB and I have to say I found it impossible Seem to recall a protrusion on the condesner fouls on the bumper bar when you try and remove it, making it impossible to do.
Removed the bumper in the end.

Remember kids, Captain Planet pities the fool who vents to atmosphere!

If he has a rev 2 which hasn't already vented to atmosphere through old age then I'm impressed.
