Also I have no intentions of ever using my ac I plan on taking all the ac parts out to make room is the a stupid idea? I don’t plan on ever selling but would that have a major affect on resale?

I call that the "Might As Well" syndrome.... you get far enough in, and it is hard to leave trouble spots alone and simply ignore them.

No idea how to avoid it... I have been saying that phrase for the last 14 years which probably explains why I'm still on jackstands in the garage.
