Can I remove my ac garbage but still have heat?

[Stripes]

I'm wanting to take out my AC box thing from behind the dash to free up space for my fuse boxes and whatnot but I still want to have heat. If I take this out will I still be able to keep my heat?No I didn't search. too busy.Thanks

[Brandon1605]

I could be wrong on this, but I think whats under the dash is all one unit and removing the AC would probably screw up the heat, could be wrong tho.

[duffman1278]

Too busy too search than you're too busy to do this kind of work there for there is no need to help you.

Come back when you're not so lazy and you have time to work on your car.

Okay cu*t.

I'm working on my car and have been for about 4 hours now, which is WHY I'm busy. I removed the harness that wraps around the fenders and the rad support and putting it behind the dash but I want to remove the ac box so there will be more room for me to put the fuse boxes. Pretty much doing what White Comet did a few months back.

If you're just gonna be a prick about it then don't post. If you actually know then share some knowledge.

....Oh I'm sorry did you actually say something? I'm too busy to read it. If I had to sum up what you said it would go something like this "spoon feed me"

Okay cu*t.

excuse me?

isn't this an information driven forum?and without people making threads everyday asking questions and seeking help would nice have a reason to exist?what laws or rules of nico require a user to "work" for an answer to a question?

with that said.if i knew the answer i would tell you OP.but ive removed all of my AC hardware inside the engine bay if that helps.and my heat works fine.i haven't not however touched anything beyond the firewall ac related.

[240sxFTW]

If WC did the same thing, find his thread, comment on it or e-mail the dude. Im all for givin information and receiving it but lets leave the harsh words aside please. there was no need for that.

[bryantkalagian]

i dont have ac or heat so i guess not. haha

[Wretched]

You can remove everything ac related but the box under the dash has to stay. The blower motor blows through the ac box first, so if you removed that, air would just blow around the passenger feet area. You can remove the core inside the box, but that wouldn't give you any more room for your relay boxes.

You're right, but do you really want 20 of the same questions popping up everyday. I've just gotten sick of people posting up bs questions and what set me off here was that he ADMITTED to not searching. Lazyness should not be tolerated, but if the Nico admins allow it, I can't stop it but I'll just post my opinion.

[Chris28]

Has no one answered this yet? I swear the only thing I ever see in 240 gen is people telling others to search. God forbid they give useful information in an automotive forum!

OP: To what A/C box are you referring to? I've never had my dash off, but I have removed my engine bay A/C accessories. If you want to retain heat, don't mess with anything that the heater core hoses go to. If you have your dash off this should be easy.

Grab yourself an FSM and find the A/C section. Read up on it and it will most likely answer all of your questions.

edit: Wretched thank you for answering the question.

[jeff420]

when people come out and blatantly say "i diddnt search im too busy" they are just askin to be flamed. if he hadnt come off as such a lazy a** and searched im sure he would have found the answer. im very busy but you know what? you'll never see me make a post sayin im too busy to search, i search until im sure i cant find my answer THEN make a post somewhere asking a question.

[Shabbernigdo]

u can pull the ac compressor and all associated lines as well as the condencer core / core under the dash and still have working heat.

[Stripes]

You can remove everything ac related but the box under the dash has to stay. The blower motor blows through the ac box first, so if you removed that, air would just blow around the passenger feet area. You can remove the core inside the box, but that wouldn't give you any more room for your relay boxes.

Yeah thats what I figured. Thanks.

Did that already but got nothing.

kay.This is the first time I've seen this being asked, and you going on and on filling this thread with you complaining isn't helping anything.On the contrary, I posted that I didn't search for the sole fact that I didn't want anyone posting right off the bat "SEARCH!!!" like I see so frequently on this forum. I wanted a straight answer, but of course there are always people like you who just have to chime in and flip because they apparently have nothing better to do. It may have been different if you actually had an answer and said something along the lines of "You should searched first dumbass... but the answer to your question is...", but that wasn't the case. You came in here just to let out what seems like some pent up anger.Hope you feel better now though.

Thanks again Wretched.

[Jdmstyles]

You guys needa chillll. And you needa explain more in detail of the components in which you are removing. Anything that has to do with AC in the engine bay should be fine to remove.

[xX RB Xx]

A/C and heat are not together as one unit. You can remove on and still have the other.

To answer your question... I don't know what "a/c box" your talking about. Take some pixs to show what your talking about.

One side note.... Why are you running your body harness through your dash?

[visser003]

You can gut the ac box and pinch off the ac hardline coming from it.Dont mess with any other components under the dash, they are for heat, not ac.

[S14toRPS13]

What's with all the bashing and flaming going on? The reason why people ask is because this is a 240 forum. What would a discussion forum be if all anyone did was just search and didn't post? Perhaps someones done it before and can easily answer the question for they guy. It's a valid question to me, unlike those other questions like, "'Should I go KA or SR?"

To the OP, I believe you're talking about the heatercore behind the dash where the coolant runs into. Air is blown through this to give you heat. If that's what you're planning on pulling out then yes, you'll lose heat.

*See how easy that was!!! Now this thread actually contains some useful info.

[safin]

You could've had flamed the guy and give him that answer. lately, most of the answers are obtained like that around here.

thats what I was expecting to see, I mean the guy wanted to know if removing the heater core would compromise having heat?!.....

so just chill, its the internets

[White Comet]

i didnt read if the question was answered yet, but you need to take the ac crap out of the box and then reinstall that box so the heated air can flow through. cut off the little nipples that go to the bay and block em off so hot air isnt blasted at your wiring. i have pics if that isnt clear i just need to find em

I agree with duffman1278.

But OP, you can run the heater w/o the a/c components. However, in the coming season change, fall-winter, you probably would like to have the defrost workin right? Yea, I know the defrost works off the engine coolant, but have you ever checked under the hood when the defrost is on? The compressor is running! Yes its confusing, but its running to keep the temp of the windshield the lower than the heat. If you omit the a/c and have the defrost running, any small amount of ambiant moisture could crack/spiderweb your windshield.

You can remove everything ac related but the box under the dash has to stay. The blower motor blows through the ac box first, so if you removed that, air would just blow around the passenger feet area. You can remove the core inside the box, but that wouldn't give you any more room for your relay boxes.

QFT

I removed the box under the dash for the ac. The one that has the two a/c lines coming out of it that go through the firewall.

The heat does still work, but as stated, it only blows out by the passenger on the floor. No air will come through the vents if its removed.

[heartofaskyline]

op is a doucher

[Bluefire]

If you remove the a/c core underneath the dash you will lose your heater. Under the dash you have: heater core -- a/c core -- blower motor. If you remove the a/c core, the blower motor will just be blowing air randomly underneath the dash instead of through the heater core. You would have to fab some kind of ducting to direct the air from the blower motor into the heater core.
