I put a nissan in my brick and im happy with it. They are crappy radiators for german cars, but they seem to be ok for the sweeds. As far as the A/C goes, if you are 100% sure you want to take it out, the only reason I ask is if for some reason you do want to put it back in you will have a heck of a time and wish you never did it. Start by taking out the compressor, condensor and lines, you can take out the reciever drier (the silver can on the passanger side firewall) I would get some caps for the lines though to make it look halfway decent. If you are worried about freon still being in the system, the easiest way to check to see if there still is if to get a small screwdriver and stick it in the valve on the accumulator and see if anything comes out, if it does, take it to a shop to have the freon taken out. Dont mess with freon, 1 drop of liquid freon can = instant frostbite. No joke. Good luck
