Nice work Kevin, most of those items are on my winter list, however its been too cold in my gararge to work (no heat).

Did you weigh the parts taken off? I am interested in the weights of the A/C items as well as the SAI and Cruise....

Keep up the good work.

Steve

The weights include: Cruise 3 lbs, SAI 7 LBS, and the A/C stuff up front 18.5 LBS.
The compressor in the back for the a/c was a TANK.

More pictures

Manifolds cleaned of tabs. Before sanding and painting.

That looks great! What did the AC weigh?

I like the black paint, but red would have made it POP!

A/C compressor is approximately 25 LBs.
I'm not 100 percent sure. It has been years since I removed that.
A/C stuff in the left drivers side wheel well was 18.5 LBs
