Hi, We got a new engine for my daughters car, the boys are disconnecting everything to remove the old engine , They are having a small issue trying to get the exhaust off the headers, and the ac lines.......... can u share any tricks to make it go quicker. what are the tools for the ac lines........I ll google what I can. but info from someone that's done it would be awesome. thanks in advance..

 

What Make Model year motor etc.....?
The more info you provide the more info can be given..

I know were really good at providing any and all thing Monte Carlo as far as help and info..

But...
Were not psychics...

Just kidding...
We can gladly help with more info.

 

If it's a FWD Monte,

Disconnect battery and disconnect necessary wiring connectors. Unbolt the wiring harness from the firewall, remove axles, remove throttle cables, and unbolt the downpipe... Unbolt the engine mount, trans mount, and dogbones and it should come out. I'm sure I'm missing something, but that's the jist of it.

 

Fak i just lost everything i said . If u look on bad luck on the welcome forum you will see more info . Sorry battery dying .. They got it out anyhow with a few problems but have to change some stuff around on the other engine ..

 

So my son is having some problems finding parts that connect up, the ac pump is missing and the power steering pump is missing, as well as a pulley,
> finding the part numbers to match these up has been a issue .
the stamp on the block is 24507253.


Car is a 03 monte carlo, SS 3.4 SFI

 

A 03 monte carlo ss never came in a 2.4 only a 3800 v6

 

Sorry for the error . We are trying to locate the a c pump and ps pump and pulley off the new engine . But having problems identifying the engine since its different . Ive got the cast number , tried crossing it with gms cast number . Theres a number on the bracket . There used to be a site that would tell you everything in your vin . This is a S series from the stamp on the cast . Now to find the parts!
