Hey, I was wondering if there were someway I could discharge the A/C out of my 89 fastback myself.
I'm putting in a CA18DET tommorrow.
I don't want to have to take it to someone bc I want to get an early start on it tomorrow and get the
swap done as quickly as possible, and if I take it to someone the car will get hot and I'll have to let it cool,
and the engine doesn't run very well right now. Also, what's the best position to have the car in when doing an engine swap?
Should all 4 wheels be off the ground? Or leave the 2 rear on the ground and the front on ramps? Another question
I'm also putting in a new clutch, the FSM for the stock motor says something about putting some grease on some
parts, do I need to do this? What kind of grease should I use? Last one, when taking the engine out then putting
the new one in, should I remove the transmission before pulling the engine out, and also put the transmission on
after putting the new engine in? Or leave it all together when doing both? Sorry bout all the questions, this is my
first time taking on something this big, got a bunch of friends comming over to help and I'm hoping to have this thing
finished soon. So any help as soon as possible is greatly appreciated.
