Does anybody have any good links to a good write up on how to completely remove the a/c and heater core and any usless wires?.........pretty much anything else behind the dash that is unnessary. I search on .net but I couldn't really find any clear write ups. I have the dash out right now and I want to get as much stuff done as I can because I don't see myself removing it again anytime soon.......especially when the roadster is the dd. Can any of you guys help me out? Thanks

I don't know of any writeups, but you can call AIM Tuning in Indianapolis. They do Spec Miata setup work, and my friend Shane (tell him Bryan Wyatt sent you) did a GREAT job pulling my AC system. No wires cut, nothing gouged; you could put my AC system back together and put it back into the car with no issues whatsoever. He could at least give you a short walkthrough of the process.

Their number is 317.381.0898

Same here, the aluminium pipes bend so easily, and the radiator was a bit of a pig to get out, so I damaged most of it...

Cooling is so much better now though with the A/C rad out of the way. 8)

Be sure to remove the lower splash shield and everything will be straight forward regarding removal.
It's a lengthly process but very easy to perform.

Removing the rad is not necessary but opens up more work space.

The non-AC cars also use a different AC switch/fan knob assembly, just in case you plan on selling the AC system to someone complete.
