A/C component under dash?

is there a A/C component under the passender side dash? i saw the fan blower and i think the heater core, but were is the A/C components and if iremoved it would i still have my Heater and Fan blower??

thanx

yeah, the A/C evaporator is under there. that's probably what you saw. you can remove it and take the core out, and you should still have heat and your blower.

there is the delay unit there too !

dont remove the thing that looks like a minature radiator . it is your heater core

the heater core is more to the left, towards the center of the dash. the evaporator core is something different. they look similar though

Here's some more pics of the evaporator that may help.... (this is mine)

And if it's never been taken out and cleaned, the this is probably what it will look like! This is what makes the drain plug up and soak your floorboard.

And if anybody ever needs to know where the expansion valve is, it's that brownish piece with the 90 degree bend and 2 fittings on it, and that little coily wire coming from it. These are what plug up.

I wouldn't take it out, because it looks like it bridges the gap between the blower motor and the inlet to the ducts, unless you can find something else to put in there that will connect the two.

wow i really wanted to know where the expansion valve is ! thanx jared !

could you please check my other thread Jared ! thanx a lot !
