Just pulled the A/C compressor out, going to try and find a new one to put in there, and paint those brackets and air cleaner cover sooner or later. Took a bunch of photo's too, will post later this evening.

My emergency brake is leaning against the sensor causing my BRAKE light to always be on, and possibly dragging the e-brake. I found one bolt, but have no idea how to get the others to remove the E-brake pedal. Anyone have any advice on getting that pedal off?

Good luck on the AC Compressor.  I have yet to find a stock one.  Maybe someone on here knows where to get them.

There are 2 more nuts on the firewall that hold it also. they are by the electrical bulk head on the firewall engine bay area.

Old Air Products has it for about 300 bucks cheaper than napa

[79ban1]

Really? NAPA shows a price of 331.25 for the whole thing. So it they are 300 cheaper that NAPA then it's only 31.25 from them?

How do I get to those bolts, they're being a PITA!!!

Honestly, I'm going to try and find a parts car with a working AC and just yank it...theres a few around town.
