Quick Question

How hard is it to remove the AC condenser out of my 81 280zx non turbo two seater? I'm considering doing this in a couple of days to lose a little weight. Thanks guys.

Difficulty usually depends on your skill level... I say it's easy cuz I've R&I'd quite a few a/c compressors. So here's how in a nut shell: Drain the a/c lines (to properly do it you need an evac system), disconnect the lines from the compressor, take off the a/c fan belt, and unbolt.
