that evil HVAC box

Mean Green I thought that electrolysis only happens if current is finding a way to ground through the heater core/ radiator. It doesn't appear that the heater core would be touching anything to make it grounded.
I'm not too sure about the car but on our boat we have consistent battles with electrolysis. The trim cylinders for the outdrives usually get eaten away every 3 years. We have tried grounding everything but nothing works so its just a reality from leaving it in the water for 5 months a year. I dont know how resistant my aluminum heater core will be compared to the old copper one. The copper one started leaking when it was 3-4 years old and we have lived with it for too many years.

When you did yours, did every stud from the hvac box through the firewall just spin with the nut? It was a major pain in the butt to have to hold all the studs with pliers while working a wrench around them.
I still need to get my a/c evacuated/recharged. any ideas if the system will be harmed if I wait a week to do that? I know that the compressor won't engage since there is no refrigerant.

And for the a/c it still hasn't been charged. I have been way too busy with work. But I am aware about holding the vacuum for a long itme.

For me, it was easier to tilt the dash back, pull the hvac box back a bit roll it towards the front 1/4 roll and bring it up and out the passenger side. More pics and info available from wigtail@hotmail.com

I didn't take the 4x4 shifter or console tray out. I would have had much more room had i taken time to loosen up the drivers seat and move it back a few more inches. The steering column gets tight up against the seat. You have to push the column and dash down as far as it will go on drivers side. The seat being loose would help.
