Did you remove your ACD or ABS? If so what all was involved in doing so. I am pulling my A/C this winter along with my build and wouldn't mind getting rid of a few more pounds whilte at it. Let me know!

Brian did not pull his ACD but it can be done very easily and removes quite a bit of weight.. You just need an 03-04 Tcase to convert the ACD tcase Top Hat over to NON ACD.. Then you can pull the pump and all the lines etc..

If I had a non ACD tcase could I just swap it out right with my current one? If I blow apart another tcase i'll just swap it then haha.

Mike is spot on. Only mistake I have made at this point. I never thought about it when I had Shep rebuild it. I will do that mod down the road. Car came with no abs as its an RS too.
