Is it safe to remove the shroud from the AC compressor? I would like to clean it, not sure of the best method. Any ideas?
This photo shows the AC system under the dash. The pan for the heater core has been removed for replacing the heater core. The compressor is in the section in the center of the photo, the section with the arched top. The fins and coils are oriented vertically. The blower motor and fan are on the right. Air is pulled from the bottom of the blower through the coils and fins toward the left. I'm working on making or finding pre-fab air filter to put over the intake, to try to cut down on the dust coming through the blower and vents. Since I have the dash out, it's my chance to clean everything thoroughly.
