How hard is it to swap a aircon system to another without aircon? Have studdied a little bit the drawing i found on forum and didnt seem to hard. The only problem is the car im thinking swaping it to have the manual knobs not digi. So I need to change it to. Do i need to take the dash all out and what safety for not inhaling any gasses when disassembleing? :)

As The Boy often says, nothing is impossible but ............... you'd be far better off selling what you've got & buying another car with a/c

You'd also have the evaporator to fit behind the dash too (in the heater box?  :-/)

I wasn't thinking about availability of parts, more like the major hassle of fitting them  :y :y

Ah ok ;) I may dissable the dash on the spare car today if its get sunny and see what its all about, good learning curve. have some conserns about the wireing and relays but should be spot on.
