Default Removeing ac system from a 92

I was looking to remove my ac system to unclutter my engine bay cause the system crapped out years ago. Whats the best way to go about this cause I already orderd the by-pass pully do I need to cap the lines to the fire wall or can I leave them open and is there any thing I need to worry about when doing this mod?

Yes, it's easily done. My AC is my onboard air, and it's really handy for a flat tire, air tools, or many other things.

No they don't have to be capped, unless you just want to keep crud out.

You need to replace the A/C with a pulley though. There was the A/C delete pulley on the 4.0. Search the local junkyards for the pulley.


Should also pull the condenser in front of the radiator to get more airflow since you are pulling the A/C system.

He stated earlier that he had ordered the bypass pulley. Since A/C was an extra cost option, the standard non-air pulley would be--standard.

I live in the south, and every JY Cherokee I've seen so far had A/C.

We need it down here for sure.
