Disconnecting the air conditioner
I was wondering if I could disconnect the A/C and add piping to rout colder air in the car. The parts to fix it is too expensive so im wanting to do this and can I remove the pully for the A/C if I can keep there from being slack in the belt.

My compressor has not failed that was replaced two years ago the condensor failed and I was told that replaceing it might not fix the problem then they wouldhave to replace the A/C or convert it to the new type of freon

But to answer your question, Phantom, as you know, anything is possible. I suppose you could get some flexible duct pipe and route it from under the front bumper through the firewall and "presto" you've got a CAI for the passenger compartment.

The cowl area of the hood. Just below where your wiper blades park you will see about 3 areas of wire mesh. This is where the air enters the hvac system.
