well under the dash i got the bottom piece of plastic out and the actual condenser itself, but i still can't get that damn top piece of plastic off.

how long would i be able to go with out covering up that big opening next to my rad, will it caus eany permanant damage or will my fan just run all the time.

ya i didn't think it would cause any real problems.
so i took it out for a spin after i put most of it back together and i pull up at the lights and idle dropped to almost nothing, just about stalled out till i reved it up a bit, it was wierd hopefully it doesn't do that all the time now, i'm gonna go soon for another spin to try it out, i had a second look to make sure i didnt leave anythign un connected but all was good.
i don't know

I had mine out for about a year, then I realized what that peice did, so I put it back in... but you can use a sheet of lexan or ABS plastic or aluminium... steal a street sign and cut it to shape, drill some holes in it and ziptie it in place. or relocate your plate into that area

your A/C has nothing to do with your idle, so if you have an idle problem and no CEL, then your ECU is prolly just re-learning.
