7M-gte Removal

[HMNGSupraMKIII]

Hey Im pulling my engine out and I got a few questions. First off, do the driveshaft slide out when I pull the engine out with the trans? I seen some thread but just wanted to make sure. Second, do I unbolt the bolt that the two ac lines goes to the ac compressor? Thanks

Yes to your first question about the driveshaft. Here's the link I used when I removed mine a couple weeks ago. Hope it helps... http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?423-7M-GTE-Engine-removal-in-49-easy-steps.

There is also another thread that has pictures that go along with the explanation, but I can't find where I saved the link. Should be on this site though.

Trans fluid will come out if not plugged.

And if you remove the compressor with the engine and the ac system is full when you remove the line freon is going to go everywhere. And it's stinks. Leave compressor in car. Much easier. Same with ps pump and then you don't have to do anything with either of those systems.

So I should just unbolt the AC compressor from the engine? Thing is, I'm not sure if I have any freon left. AC doesn't blow cold no more.

its 4 bolts for the compressor. 2 on the side and 2 on the front. you'll have to pull the alt off as well to get to the compressor.

I unbolted my lines from the compressor and pulled out the engine with all accessories attached. I'm replacing it with a 1JZ, so I can't use the 7M compressor anyway. My A/C did not blow cold before, and nothing came out of the lines when I disconnected them.

Pull the DS out first but drain your trans or fluid will be all over the floor/ground. I always leave the AC compressor in the car, only 4 12mm bolts.
