I removed my air conditioning unit yesterday in my 64 Tbird without removing the dash. So for anyone looking at doing this it is possible to do.

I've never tried it but according to the shop manual it sounds like it can be done.

A/C Switch
ThanksComment

Hi , I hope you or someone could help. Recently I purchased an A/C thermostatic switch control unit as my original was faulty. It turns out it was the vacuum. As I was removing the original I found it very hard to remove the capillary, at one point it stopped so I did not pull any further. For fear of any damage what I did was detach the switch from the vacuum and replace. My question is can the capillary be removed and how difficult is it. I have a 64 T-bird
Thanks you help is appreciatedComment

Here's the wiring diagram. #182 is the brown wire and #347 is the black wire.

John's diagram shows the switch as nothing more than positive power going through a set of contacts that open and close, which turns the compressor's electromagnet on and off. Keep these wires away from ground or you will blow a fuse. It's not important that the switch bracket be grounded either.
The path is complete at the electromagnet because it has one side already going to ground, internally.
There are several posts regarding capillary bulbs and how they can be repaired on the Internet. Maybe YouTube has some as well. It happens that some 'mechanical' gauges need a longer capillary tube or some get cut by mistake. HERE is one such repair site. - DaveMember, Sons of the American Revolution
