Disconnecting the air conditioner
 

I was wondering if I could disconnect the A/C and add piping to rout colder air in the car. The parts to fix it is too expensive so im wanting to do this and can I remove the pully for the A/C if I can keep there from being slack in the belt.

at first i thought you meant add piping to make cold air go into the CAI, that would be really cool if it worked, sorry to jump into your post

My compressor has not failed that was replaced two years ago the condensor failed and I was told that replaceing it might not fix the problem then they wouldhave to replace the A/C or convert it to the new type of freon

When I read your post I was amazed that someone else actually thought of this. Before the days of factory integrated a/c, cars came equipped with footwell vents which you could manually open or close. When you opened them up on a summer day, and you were on the highway, the breeze that would come into the car was incredible. Sort of like a turbo charged fan. Ahhhh, those were the days.

But to answer your question, Phantom, as you know, anything is possible. I suppose you could get some flexible duct pipe and route it from under the front bumper through the firewall and "presto" you've got a CAI for the passenger compartment.

Where is the the air pulled in from now when the vent is on.

The cowl area of the hood. Just below where your wiper blades park you will see about 3 areas of wire mesh. This is where the air enters the hvac system.
