Any guides on here? mines failed so needs replacing. what needs removing to get to it. do I need to remove everything that runs off the aux belt or can it be removed by just taking off the belt/tensioner? not taken a look yes so any tips before I get started would be appreciated

Thanks

Not sure, I've never tried to get mine off.

If you have a look on pure motorsport website they have a guide to go with their AC delete kit, should have all the info you need in it.

thanks alot. Looks like just alternator to be removed. Hopefully there's enough space without having to remove rad!

Replaced the A/C pump on this, very easy job for anyone wanting to do it. Just need to remove bumper/slam panel and take tension off the belt. loosen the alternator so you can get enough slack on the belt to take it off the A/C pulley. 4 bolts and disconnect the a/c lines/wire then it comes out the bottom of the bay without even having to jack the engine. replacement is as easy as removal
