If that's the roughly 1/4" diameter aluminum line that runs across the
firewall, I agreee, it's a bear to get out. It was one of the last "A/C
delete" items to come off my coupe - done with the engine not in the
way, as I recall.
While a new part might be nice, I don't see why a used one wouldn't
work, except, as we both can see, the difficulty of getting to the part
to remove and replace it. You might contact Chris at Force 5 to see how
he feels about selling you one?
