Any advice or tips? Looks like a bear of a job and having problems finding resources. Compressor was already deleted and system drained by PO. Just need to get he rest of it out now. Don't need to save any of it so I can cut parts out if I need to.

I can't help much but when you pull the condensers I think you can pull one of the fans too. I *think* most the track only guys do this. The fan only blocks flow when your driving fast. One fan keeps you cool enough while on grid. But verify this if you can.

Also, when I pull the heater core, do I need to cap off or connect together the hoses from it ?
Thx!

In that case, the case housing bolts are accessed from the trunk side, If I remember there are 2 where the ac lines enter and 2 behind the battery. To remove the heater lines you have to remove the fuel tank. Whether or not you remove the lines, you have to loop back the heater tubes or the thermostat will not open correctly and it will overheat. If you remove the lines loop it back at the engine, If not loop it back at the firewall. You can remove the condenser's and one cooling fan.

This is HUGELY helpful. Thank you. I was missing the boat all together on where the condenser was, lol. But everything makes sense now. Headed to the lake this weekend with the family so sadly have to pull off the project but will jump back on it Sunday night.

In thinking this through, heater hoses would be worth removing if you consider they are filled with coolant. So fuel tank needs to be drained and dropped? Currently have half a tank, any easier way of draining than fuel pump method?

I'd be wary of how much of the piping/hoses you delete, since you will be reducing the overall coolant capacity by that same volume...as far as the heater core, I'd just be lazy and cross-connect the hoses after yanking out the core.
If it's equipped (I can't remember if it's just the '99 C4 that has the fuel cooler), are you going to delete the fuel/AC heat exchanger?

Don't have the heat exchanger on my C2. It's a good point about the cooling but I'll remove them for simplicity sake. And that was the race shops recommendation as well, go figure. But removing them and the condenser are going to have to wait until after it gets back from the shop though. I'm lucky just to have the interior almost done.

Any concern of the fel pump method? Durametric can activate the fuel pump btw.
