removing a/c

ok i am pulling the A/C out of my 87 4runner with a 22re. i know some came w/o A/C and the block "should't" mater.

i have removed the bracket that holds the compressor on to the block. when doing this i noticed some of the bolts had some oil on them. these bolts shouldn't be in any sort of oil passages right?

i do have a leaky seal on my engine which is where i figure i picked up the oil. i wanted to clarify though because i dont want to ruin my junk, if i drive it with out these bolts instaled.

i was searching google for this and pretty much all the searches came back was the timing chain replacement so my search options are exhausted as far as i see.

thanks jesse

i dont know the answer, though im sure someone does. however, if you dont find anything out, why not take the bolts out, remove it, and then put those bolts back in and leave em?

bolt holes for the A/C are not oil passages. Oil was probably from somwhere else

The bolts that go in from the front help hold on the timing cover, put them back in.

Please don't open the system if there is any refrigerant still in the system. You need to get it properly evacuated.

You can gain some passenger foot room by swapping in a section of ductwork where the evap coil goes from a non-AC truck.

yes the sytem is good, there is an actual shop that the guy is going to be taking to get everything working on the other truck doing some work.I had tore into this last night and came up with that question.

apperently this shop is going to do some sort of conversion to RF12 or something that is supposed to be a direct replacement for the R12 refridgerant not sure exactly i thought it was just going to be r134 but apperantly not

thanks agian guys
