  • Well so far so good.  Just like OEM Pontiac Engine removal 101.  Drain the water from the Radiator, Block.  Drain the oil.  Remove all the attaching parts, hoses, wires etc and here you go.

  • You can see how the Compressor is no longer there.  Turns out there is no pressure in the High Pressure Side.  What this tells me is that it dont work.  No R12 to contaminate the Ozone.  I evacuated it anyway.

  • Here you can see the Heater Core Hose.  This item is also a thing that you have to handle with Kit Gloves.  Do not Twist it.  Do not Pull it.  Do not even make it Stretched in any way.  If you do the Heater Core will leak.

  • Here you go.  Chain on and motor ready to remove.  I like to leave the hard to remove objects on the motor.  Sometimes you can remove them later when the engine is out and the area to work is better.
