Hey guys, If for some un-Godly Reason I want to remove my compressor from the engine bay, but I still want to have colding a/c, is there a solution to moving the compressor to sumwhere inside the car? Or maybe even the Trunk? What about power steering? Possible to move that pump off the engine too? and still have powersteering?

No you can't do that with A/C and you wouldn't want to because the condensor is up there anyway. Power steering can be done with the Toyota MR2 power steering setup which is electric.

So if I Pipe the lines lets say though the firewall into the passenger side foot space. So id have 4 lines tru the firewall instead of 2. Is it there an electric compressor that will be possible to use in that place? Or is that a complete no no?

Not that I know of, but anything is possible of course. Maybe look into the aftermarket A/C systems that the muscle car guys use.
