Can the A/C compressor be removed easily from the engine without doing any major surgery, such as lifting the engine or removing a whole shitload of other stuff? My A/C doesn't work, doesn't even have a belt, and since that thing is a huge pig of dead weight, I want to pull it out, mainly before the auto-x this weekend. Can it be done?

Should come out easy, it's just a tight fit there on the m20/m50 cars but you don't have to lift anything up. I've done it on my m10 before, but now that you mention is I would love to know what exact size wrench you need to get the hoses off the a/c compressor... I think they are bigger than 19mm.Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

The condensor is up front near the radiator, right? I don't remember.Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205
