In my area, the auto salvage yards don't remove them, you have to pull
them from the car yourself. The disadvantage of this is that you have to do
the work, the *advantage* is that you can be careful, and be assured that
there is less damage to the core.
Thanks. I just called around to a few places, and that's
what they told me as well. They also said they charge $40-$45 for
them, which seems like a lot considering the avg new AC Delco price is
$119-$129.
I noticed
in the archives that Bill Eslick used '86 Caprice cores, but he didn't
mention the actual dimensions. I would worry that what might have fit
fine in an RV-6 cowl might not fit an RV-3 (standard cowl, not BUC).
Cheers,
Rusty
Rusty Look up an auto air conditioning service
business and go talk to them. A small leak makes the cores useless at the
pressures the A/C works at but won't even be noticed by coolant. Bet you can
get them for $5 or less.
