    air con is easy to remove from just the bay. just remove the compressor, condensor, reciever/dryer and all pipework, then get a belt setup from a non A/C corsa and you're away.and if you can remove all those things without a grinder, you could sell them and make a few quid too.

    and if you want to remove it from the interior too, just take the dash out, fit a heater box from a non A/C corsa, and Robert is your mothers brother

    I'd still stick it on the bay, will be worth something to someone who uses those sh*tty halfords air con top up cans so now has a siezed compressor

    condensor and reseiver/dryer wil certainly be worth money. should see you enough to pay for the non A/C pulley/belt set up too

    Oh, and I actually like the idea of GSI kit and white slabs (awaits natives)

    If the "wining" sound is just when cold then it will probably be the SAI system. It pumps air into the exhaust manifold to warm up the cat. It runs when the engines cold and sounds like a Dyson.

    with your ability with belts, taking the drive away from the ac should be a doddle
