What parts do you want to remove? All of it?

The condensor in front of the rad should be the easiest bit.

Is there still gas in the system? You will need to get a specialist to remove it before working on it.

You can unofficially de-gass this yourself pretty easily even though it's technically illegal, but how would anyone know?

Just take the belt off the compressor, then remove the compressor, then remove the small rad in front of the big rad, then the rest of the pipes in the engine bay, i just left the unit on mine behind the dash in place

Hi Mark..

I used to work at a Subaru Dealership and used to install the Aircon kits. Amazingly i have kept the fitting instructions. I am going to post them out to another chap on here so if you want pm me your address and ill post them to you to!!

You should be ok taking it off yourself.....just work backwards though the instructions!!

It's that easy you don't need instructions! Just pull it apart
