the best way to find out is to try it if it doesnt work put it back. if it works post a picture. I was just thinking of that the other day Im going to try it in a couple of weeks when I relocate my batt.

Removing the cruise control consists of removing the old lines and installing the lines from a non-cruise car. Not too difficult.

Sorry, can't answer your other question. I would guess if you made new mount points you could make it work.

I'm in the same boat as you. The way I was thinking about doing it was to get a 91-94 cruise box w/ cables, bracket, etc. and replace my unit with that. I'll have to take a trip to the junkyard to see the specifics on how it's ran, mounted etc. I'll let you know what I find.

I believe there's a bit more to the CC than just the little green box. On my 91, there was something underneath my CC box that played a role. If you don't use it that often, remove it for a non-cc cable. If you do, it's probably best to leave it where it is.

well where it is, the cables are in the way of putting a hard UICP, so if i remove the cruise control, im going to have cables going to the box anyway?

 

[blownturbotsi]

No the box is completely removed. With a non-cc cable, there is one line coming from the firewall that does one small loop and goes straight to the intake manifold. Good luck!

Why are your cables in the way of an upper intercooler pipe?

i can probly go through them, or maybe over them, but they go right across the stock UIC pipe,
