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?
