Read the whole of this how to before starting the job to get a scale of what is required.
To fully remove the aircon system from a 480 you will need to source a number of parts ;-
non aircon pas pump and mounting bracket
the top pipe PAS reservoir to pump
the bottom pipe pas pump to steering rack
change over alternator or alternator pulley (adjuster rachet)
non air con belt
the heater assembly plastics from a non aircon 480
the heater control unit from a non aircon 480
the cabling white length that runs from heater control switch from the non aircon to the aircon car
heater switch from a non aircon car.
first remove all aircon parts from the engine compartment.
in some places not a lot of room so it can be a slow process
You then will now have removed the following parts...
Then remove nose cone and take off the air con radiator. Cut down the top mounting brackets to size.
drain the radiator and engine coolant system.
Now for the more difficult part remove the main heater body plastics from behind the dash of a donor car
