Searched, couldnt find much.
Plan to do a 2.0 conversion on my Tigra chequers next year, its got PAS and Aircon, and i would like to keep both.
I know there is a plate you can buy to keep the PAS, but seen nothing about keeping the aircon, is it possible?
I know the PAS pump is where the conversion engine mount would be, which is fairly high up, then the aircon pump would be just under the conversion mount.
So, is it possible?
Cheers

unless you use the epas off a later corsab or a saxo electric pas pump so to remove the pas pump on the block i think you will struggle.

mtech do a fitting kit for either the pas pump or the aircon pump but not both together, if you fitted eps or the saxe set up you could fit the mtech mount and kee the aircon or you could ditch one or the other

Oooo now theres an idea, you could keep the AC compressor and use PAS no AC belt and fit 1.0 or 1.2 16v style EPAS (motor on the column, no belt driven motor)...

I dont like the feel of EPAS, Saxo/106 pump might be an idea, be the same as im doing on my 1.0.
Going to take more thinking than i had planned

if you read the thread you would know im already doing it on my 1.0
Nic put his on the battery tray, and moved the battery into the boot, i want to keep the battery in standard place though.

i was looking at one during the week that has the saxo pas pump fitted behind the dash, right behind the glove box and had a aircon glovebox so it had more room behind it

My corsa one is on the passenger side chassis leg, might be an issue with my tigra though, as it has ABS there!

this is hard it can be done just but you need custom a/c pipes iirc and i found the pump to hard work as you need a pump with a single v belt and that wil lwork with modern A/C gas
