      to take off powersteering, you need to take off the belt, remove the pump and bracket. remove the resovor, and cooling lines/cooler. then you will have 3 lines going into the race at the bottom. first 2 lines go to the transmission, and the 3rd one goes to the power steering rack. cut the last one and squease it together. now power steering is removed.

      to remove cruse control is very easy. you need to take off the unit, and line. thats it.

      to take off a/c. you need to take off the belt, remove the pump and bracket. make sure you took all the freon out of the system. the take off all the lines. a/c is removed.

      remineder, if you take off p/s its a bitch to turn. i would recommend greasing up the rack with grease.

        Taking off the power steering will eventually lead to rack failure, unless you loop the lines, or convert to a manual steering rack (some DX models had them... I have yet to see one, however).

        CC also has a control module under the dashboard, near the main relay. That can come out as well, if it matters to you.


        When removing the AC, be sure that the system is properly drained. Keep in mind that it IS illegal to vent an AC system into the atmosphere. There are only certain shops that can legally empty your system if it still has a charge. If you're thoughtless enough to vent it yourself, don't freeze yourself on the venting freon. It is very cold.

          can we just shot grease into the rack and will it cause any future problems?

            If you keep it greased, maybe not... but if it dries out, it'll fail.

                Get a belt for a DX that didn't come with AC. AC was an option on the low-end DX models.

                          Hey buddy

                          I have a project car that me and a few buddies work on that gets really good gas mileage. We gutted out the AC system and converted the power system to save on weight and engine load. For the power steering we just took the input and out put hoses and connected them together. for the Alternator we just took a measurement of what it would take to fit there and found a similar belt from a totally different make and it worked great.

                          We gutted the AC which was fun. its totally easy with the engine and tranny out but Im sure you can do it with it in. We got a AC vacuum off ebay for like $20 and sucked everything out of the system I think from the high pressure port and low pressure port. Then took out the compressor, evaporator and everything in between including that grill thing that is escaping my memory. we used saws to just cute the lines and took them out.

                          We also totally blocked off the radiator cowls. We used LED lights for all lighting except for the head lights. We have a sheet of hard plastic from the engine to the rear to reduce drag. We took off the antenna and rear view mirrors. added a rear wheel cover like on an insight. We have totally plain solid hubcaps that we made. and our last effort is to convert the back hatch of this hatchback into a long protruding boat tail to further decrease drag.

                          Now we plan on using a seimans 50Kw motor and a mix of high capacity batteries and super capacitors to power the thing... wish us luck :P
