You don't need to destroy the parts. I won't want them if you take a sawzall to them. Do you have a manual for your car? You should look there on how to remove parts properly. In the case of the wiper motor, naturally, the 3 bolts to the firewall are easy, but the unit has to be connect to the wiper transmission rods under the cowl vent. There's a single nut holding those on. To get to it, you have to take the cowl vent off. You need some plastic tools to remove the stainless windshield surrounds, then there are two bolts up front that hold the cowl vent panel on . Not sure how many other bolts there are on that. Parts from your parts car are valuable, so don't destroy them.

Take your time; there's not rush on this. The aluminum tube piece for the AC is held on with pressure fittings on each end. I think a proper sized tubing wrench will help you get them off.

Hello Doc,

I've made some progress since yesterday, once I figured the trick to the wiper arms.

The first pics is what I have removed ( washer motor, carb. Air breather dual snorkel type). The motor appears to FROZEN, I tried to apply 12 v , 6 amp current as per youtube video and it just clicks. The breather seems to only have light surface rust.

I have met another obstacle ( pic # 2). The Al a.c. Tube appears to join into some sort of radiator. Do you want the radiator part as well? I can't see an expansion joint between the rad. And tube although part of the tube is covered with some sort of insulation/sealer. Am I even on the right part?

I read your first post again, I believe you need the thin longer tube....

Alex,

Here's the small tube I'm looking for. Other parts you can save off you AC, you should. If you need more info to remove, I think I can help you. This piece connects with the tube going from from condenser unit to the tube just past the muffler (big aluminum canister wrapped in rubber that is near AC unit).

Doc, here is a part I removed from my 67. As you can see it looks different.

What I am sure of is I did unbolt it from the same cylinder shaped object as show in your next to last pic you posted.
So I can guess: 1. There are different varieties of AC units and mine is different. 2. ( more likely) The tube developed a leak and they fitted a hose to where it leaked and cut it off short.

Anyway I'm happy to throw it in the parts pile along with that automatic choke housing with spring.

Alex

Here is a pic of the back chrome ( reminder I may keep the emblems-- almost all of mine were missing).
