We still have 2 ceiling panels to remove where the front and rear A/C units are, but first we have to get a mechanic out to empty the refrigerant so we can fully uninstall those.

It was so nice to get back to work on the bus and I'm looking forward to finally get all the demolition done so we can move on to the actual fun stuff.
Good to see that you are back at it. There are a lot of threads here discussing removing the factory ac. Here is one for you to read before making the final decision https://www.skoolie.net/forums/f9/th...a-c-27952.html

Save that stripper pole, you'll use it somewhere, especially in a RED bus. Not having to worry about outside paint is great, what a pain to do. We sanded for 2 days till our fingers bled, also had to hand sand and primer every rusted rivet. Getting a bus with a good drivetrain is a blessing. Look forward to watching your progress, keep up the good work.
