ac delete kit.

okay, so i just bought an a/c delete kit for the bird, and im planning on putting it on. My question is, how do discharge the free-on? Can I do it myself or what? Thanks.

Not sure about the freon, but unless you swapped in a mustang power steering pump bracket the a/c delete won't work with the tbird/ cougar one.

Repairing a lock cylinder that is frozen or sans keys requires a drill, gumption, and a midget on a tricycle.

The tbird/ coug has the a/c and power steering bracket as one piece. I bought the a/c delete kit from ford and couldn't install it without the mustang bracket. It's a different animal, same species.

Don't try to discharge the freon yourself - to do so hurts the ozone layer (I'm sitting here with my first April sunburn EVER, so there must be something to that ozone hole stuff), plus it's illegal. If somebody sees you doing it you could face a fine of several thousand dollars.

Shops charge very little to vac out an ac system. 

In addition to the incredibly harmful effects to the enviroment, breathing in that stuff or spilling it on yourself in liquid state (don;t ask) is very very bad for your health.

Talking about an AC delete kit and I am figuring on getting my AC fixed this week, warming up around here.  :giggle:  Gotta have the air for my daily driver.
