Nah man, I'm not dissing anyone. Just stating basic facts of the internet, L00L!!!1
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
And my bad I have not been on the internet to be soem guy on the internet either, I have been working like a damn dog. Between school, and work, and the car, I am like going crazy. We started taking apart the car, to get the engine out. By the time we are done I should have the money to get the engine rebuilt. I have a super big question. On my vette there is two radiators. As I believe the first one is the tranny cooler. But why the hell is it connected to the AC motor? I dont see why it would need to go into there?
Thanks

Louis, one more time. Please clean up your language and speak english. Show some respect for others. This site is not your typical bunch of internet dudes. We are tight knit group of people with a common interest, who want to share with like minded people.
We have a vast shared knowledge of Corvettes. We can share it, or not. It's up to you.
There is not two radiators. The one in front with the A/C lines is the A/C condenser. The next one back with coolant hoses is the radiator. Be carefull when disconnecting any A/C line. You want to depress the valves on the A/C and make sure there is no pressure in the lines. If there is, legally, you must take it and have it discharged (emptied). But no one can complain if it leaked out. Freon under pressure can cause instant frost bite, so be carefull if you find your system "leaking".

that is not a trans cooler
that is the AC condenser
also there is no AC motor, that is an AC compressor.
looks like ken snuck in and answered while I was typing

Thanks guys. Boy do I feel dumb now. I already siconnected the AC line, my cousin took all the pressure out him self ;). I'm sorry about my language. It's really bad, eh? I fixed it in the "cleaned up" version above, in my original post. I'll have to tell my dad. We are going to take all the emmissions garbage out to, YAY, More POWER! The emmissions pump is already been taken out. We put a good dent in it for the first night. I bent the tube going from the condencer to the ac compressor. It was not my fault. You know the two nuts that connect the metal tube, to the rubber hose? Well my cousin decided that it would be a good idea to pull it hard. So he told me to, and I did as I was told. Well, I bent the hose and my dad got pissed. Too bad for me. Haha! I'll just have someone boil it out or somthing. Just so I dont look even dumber, I knew it was an AC compressor. I just forgot for a second, and put motor.
Thanks

Thanks for the clean up.
Sometimes things happen. A bent line is a lesson learned. Granted the hard way, but learned.
As far as removing the emissions, Do you need an emission check? If not, fine.
Removing all of the emissions is not necessarly a good thing. Some will improve the car, others will actually hurt the operation. The EGR valve can be useful, or can hurt you. But if you are going with another cam, and other modifications, then go ahead and remove most of the emissions.
The one you always want to keep is the PCV valve/system. Without it, the crank will not vent, clear moisture and acids, and will create engine wear and oil leaks. In very high performance cars the PCV can be modified, but from what you said, I don't believe you will need to worry about that. It's unusual for a street car.
You also want to keep the charcoal cannister purge system open to vent the gas tank. If you disconnect and plug the cannister lines, you will have fuel deliverly problems. It creates an excessive vacuum or pressure in the fuel tank, depending on condition at the time. Either way is bad. You may not want to connect the purge system to the engine, but be sure the tank vent works.

No harm, No foul. Just be considerate to others. I was more fired up about throwing everyone on this forum into a group of internet guys and being looked at as scam artists.
Everyone here is a paid member of some form and everyone genuinely wants to be a part of this site or they would not have paid to be a member. And as Ken said were all here to help.
Keep it clean, keep it honest, keep it real.
Thats what makes C3VR Different from other corvette sites on the web.
