Changing plugs is easy on an A/C car - just put a jack under the subframe and raised the car a couple inches, enough that the suspension drops on the pass side. You then use a long extension and go straight through the gap between the inner fender and the upper control arm. I can do the pass side faster than the driver's side, where I have to deal with the power brake booster and brake lines in the way on #5 and 7.

The real reason to hate A/C on these cars is when the heater core goes bad and you have to take the entire car apart to replace it. (I need to do this on the SD)
I totally agree. what some don't seem to remember is these roundport 2nd Gen T/A's were not built to be one dimensional straight line beasts. Besides beautiful exterior styling, a few great powertrains, strong handling, along with a killer instrument layout, some comfort was designed into the cars. Those of us that have HO M22 Birds with A/C appreciate the a/c more in the very hot summer months. Doesn't matter if you're back east or in the Southwest, hop into one with black or blue vinyl seats when its high 90's- 100 degrees... nice to have the AC.
