[Shotimes] A/C Removal

[John Weidenbenner]

Also be advised that Bill's '94 is an ATX. Has anyone removed the compressor
on the single serpentine drive setup?

I also broke the engine mount casting on the 89 because one of the 4 bolts
was missing. The engine will raise over 6" with a broken casting.
