Step 1. Cut a hole in the firewall.
Step 2. Don't listen to Clay and proceed with Step 1. Step 3. I told you not to listen to Clay... now ya gotta put up with the story about how he did it with a suit on (pink liesure suit). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) In all seriousness... It's not a job to marvel over but I never found it that difficult. Loop it around the bottom. Make sure you've got the spacer washer thing figured out and put the pulley 1/2 back on. Spin on the nut and tighten. Tightening is probably the worst part. All that being said... my car has an access panel now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Or you can build this, and get an AC compressor at the same time.
 (geeze.. I get busy trying to find a new job, and I drop in here to find I have been severely dissed) I DO NOT think it wise to cut holes in something called a FIREWALL. I have seen a 914 burn...... |

LOL. Clay, you know you're loved when people poke fun at you around here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Counterpoint: Cutting holes and leaving holes are two different things. If you make an access hole, make a respectable cover to close it up. Danny: Nice Pantera. What does it's access panel look like? |

Provides access to the distributor, water pump, alternator, A/C and belts. (IMG:http://www.panteraplace.com/Tech%20Info/Mikes%20AC%20091601%207.jpg) |
