i could probably scare a few of those off for you, i had cut the rubber lines on the AC, but it cost $700 to get it all up and running again ($150 was for new lines)

i removed the compressor when we first got the car to better mount the alternator (remembering i rebuilt the car in a week to get a rwc and rego)

anyway i adapted the compressor onto an a15 to spice the car up a bit, which conveneintly meant the alternator was now on the other side of the car

i also upgraded the radiator as the extra drag of air con on hot days im sure was going to cause it major over-heating issues
