If someone really wants to remove the A/C ( which other than a small amount
of weight, is really doing nothing if it isnt turned ON ) you can do the
engine part of it rather easily. Find another 383/400/413/440 without air
conditioning and take ALL the accessory pulleys, brackets, etc that it has
and dont forget to get the belts. Then all you need to do is remove the AC
related components and install the NON A/C stuff. Now you will have the
correct pulleys and alternator brackets, etc etc etc that you will need.
This doesnt address any concerns about the hoses, receiver dryer, condenser,
or any of the stuff inside of and on the firewall, but the engine wont know
and doesnt care.
