Removing AC Unit (behind bulkhead)

[R29TJR]

I made a start removing the AC unit from behind the bulkhead but having issues removing the below:

As you can see I've removed the blower but I need to remove the whole unit to enable me to remove the AC elements but I can't for the life of me find the securing bolts/nuts.

I believe there are two bolts/nuts I need to remove from the interior however I can't locate them. I've read the PMS guide however this is of no help to me.

Any help would be great.

There are two bolts you need to get too up above the pedal inside the car, it's really easy with the seat out, not so easy with it in lol

Cheers @Sonic Boom i did have a look last night but there are a few bolts under there!

Don’t suppose you or anyone else has a pic of the bolts/nuts I need to remove.

Seem to remember lying on my back in the footwell with a good work lamp. Pull the insulation back and you will see them. Sorry no pic as my car is completely gutted now.

I removed everything, was relatively simple tbh. I then replaced with a blower from a 172 Cup, you can only so this on a 182 Cup (not a Cup packed car).

This is my concern, removing the blowers and AC from a original climate control car. I'm not sure I'll be able to run the povo/172 Cup blower unit as a replacement with a climate panel controlling the fan motor 😬.

I'm sure there will be some sort of work around.

Can the pipes that go into the bulkhead just be removed?.rather than removing all of whats underneath the panel? @R29TJR

I hacksawed mine off and then fitted a non AC bulkhead panel.

You can remove it, remove the pipework etc and refit Id you want a nicer job lol
