I recently did this on my car and really cleared up lots of room. I was wondering if anyone else would like this option without having to DIY. This still retains the heater. I used a regular coolant hose (about 1' long) but didnt realize that it was right in the path of my intercooler pipe. Instead i used a flex hose.
60$ shipped with a 20$ core charge (that way you have no down time).
Thoughts?

Power steering may work. Not AC compatible
Thought... Opinions?

I've say it before, you can flip it around and cut the hard pipe, then clamp the hardpipe in place. run a length of heater hose from the copper return fitting back round the front to the cut hardline...
