74 weight loss program, Finally time to de-AC Options

[robkammer]

All: I've been distracted for a while but back in Teener mode getting the Bumblebee ready for the PIB festivities. I've been vacillating since buying the car on what to do with the dealer installed AC, long inoperable. Long story short, it gonna be 'out of here'.
First step was the condenser, Stoddards sells a replacement piece for the frunk floor and tow hook.
Next is the under dash unit, reciever/dryer and hoses. This winter when I do a clutch job the compressor will come off and the tin will be replaced. If anyone has a tin piece for a 74 2.0 I would be interested. Any condition except rust is acceptable.
My question: Is any of this hardware worth keeping? I can't imagine anyone using this car as a daily driver. And if someone wanted AC I believe they would start at Griffiths and
finish with a working conditioner.
Any thought are appreciated.
Thanks!
Rob
PS; After almost 4 years of messing with the braking system, I FINALLY was able to get some front wheel lock yesterday. Third set of calipers from 'you know who' and another regulator from the same.
It's nice to have binders that I can count on!

Thanks fellas! I'm not sure I know where the evap unit is. I know where they are on the 911's, but not on this car. Is it in the under-dash console? I have the condenser in the frunk, the reciever/dryer in the right front wheel well, and the under dash unit.
I also agree that the compressor mounting stuff and the hacked up tin should be salvaged. Rec/dryers should always be new when a system has been opened, so it's going away.
Any ideas on a source for a new piece of tin?

Tin can be repaired assuming you have welding skill which you’ll be needing anyway to fix the shelf and frunk holes left from the A/C hackery!

See page 7, post #132 for 2.0l tin repair. 2.0l tin much harder to find.
